Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Been listening to the 970 machine lately, and not hearing anything. Streetman, I'd like to see if I can contact you tomorrow at, say, 9PM on the 970. Are you available? Hatidua, would be good if you can try then, as well....

Make sure you have a good view to the south. I can be handy around 9pm 2100hrs, and see if we can catch each other. 146.970, I don't think it is transmitting a tone, but it should be 100hz to get into it.

OK, I'll set it up with no tone on RCV, just XMIT

I transmitted call every minute or so for the past 10 minutes and heard nothing. Guessing the 970 is just a bit too distant for my lilipution Chinese handheld!

Were you guys able to hear the repeater at all? Had someone just try the repeater but I didn't catch his callsign.

Guessing so. A mobile with a decent antenna may work, but I really couldn't tell you. I know I've talked to a ham in Broomfield over the summer from the parking lot on top of the peak with full signal strength from him and me. Will have to try a linked repeater or me log into your CRA repeater in boulder.Originally Posted by Singlestack

I wasn't able to hear the repeater at all, Greg. I'm going to look into installing the echolink software next.

BTW, just decided on my next radio purchase, after getting an incredible demo at the HRO in Anaheim, CA. Will be the Icom ID-51A. Pricey, but I know I want a D-Star HT with the cool D-RATS software. The amazing thing is the much less capable ID-92 isn't much less - about $65.

You guys probably have more access to Dstar uses up there than we do down here right now. I know Icom was talking about donating some gear, most likely Dstar stuff like they did for another group(jeffco ares?). Let me know if you wish to try echolink tonight, or try the cra machine.
