ChinnoDog | I want to tune in athe local radio club repeater but I don't hear anything from it. Either it is silent or I don't know how to use my radio. | 22:47 |
KyleYankan | ChinnoDog: which club repeater? | 22:53 |
KyleYankan | N3KZ and W3WAN are usually busy | 22:53 |
ChinnoDog | The radio club that tested me. The repeater is ~8 mi away. It is in Alexandria, VA | 22:54 |
ChinnoDog | I should expect to get reception from 8 mi away on a walkie right? | 22:55 |
KyleYankan | yeah, if anyone is on the repeater | 22:56 |
KyleYankan | it might jsut be slow | 22:56 |
ChinnoDog | I get nothing. :-( | 22:57 |
ChinnoDog | I dialed down the squelch to its lowest setting so I get occasional bursts of static. | 22:58 |
KyleYankan | Check another repeater in the area | 22:58 |
KyleYankan | or tune to an APRS freq to see if you hear that | 22:58 |
ChinnoDog | Is that a beacon? | 23:01 |
KyleYankan | It's a digital location system | 23:02 |
KyleYankan | network of radios | 23:02 |
ChinnoDog | I am looking at aprs.org and I don't understand. Where do I tune? I set my radio for 144.39 and there is nothing there. | 23:10 |
KyleYankan | that's be right. it''s possible no-one is aorund you broadcasting | 23:12 |
ChinnoDog | How is that possible? I am not exactly in the middle of nowhere. | 23:14 |
KyleYankan | I mean, as simple as no-one else near you broadcasting loud enough? It's not a cell network, it's not comprehensive | 23:16 |
ChinnoDog | But the repeater should have traffic from miles around and this is a dense area. | 23:19 |
