I have a Comet SBB-5NMO ground independent antenna mounted it to my driver side cowl. SWR on 2M is good…not so good on 70cm. I mostly use 2M, but I wanted to see if there is a way to adjust the 70cm part of the antenna to get better SWR on that frequency? 2M: 146.52 = 1.01 144.00 = 1.69 148.00 = 1.24 70cm: 446.000 = 1.61 420.000 = 3.56 (?!) 450.000 = 2.14 Happy New Year!!! 73 KC3UNA View article »

I see that the RR database still lists the frequency as analog and the emission designator on their FCC license is analog as well, but can anyone confirm that they have not switched to DMR or another digital mode like so many other ski patrols have? Hoping some frequent North Shore listeners might have more info. Thank you. View article »

When I received the radio, it was not flashed for anything other than conventional use, so I did some extensive research and was able to get into Depot (15) and change some things around. I flashed it to what I thought would be needed: G51 - SMARTZONE Systems Operation G806 - ASTRO Digital Operation G173 - SMARTZONE OMNILINK Multizone Operation G361 - ASTRO 25 9600...
