I bought a couple of programs from RT for other radios, and it was almost as good as buying a pre-programmed radio. The difference is, I can work my first radio like a pro, but have a hard time changing any settings in the other radios without my manual, YouTube, and a lot of aggrivation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470914828486041366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221543635073813609.post-8109953582522323402020-01-08T21:32:17.700-08:002020-01-08T21:32:17.700-08:00I monitor .52 when traveling.

Because of this, it has become our default local frequency to monitor here in Mt. Juliet, TN.

The problem is, a few years ago when the ARRL opened up .52 for contest. Now we have the mountain topper (SODA) tying up that frequency nearly every weekend. On Field Day both the SODA and FD stations were talking over each other for contacts. Meanwhile, the other simplex frequencies sat unused. In the Portland area, we now have an evening group on .52 that don't like to follow the rules of ID'ing, using foul language on occasion, etc. .52 has gotten pretty bad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453298720490441865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221543635073813609.post-5626807889894434902017-05-26T13:25:28.299-07:002017-05-26T13:25:28.299-07:00Hello I am so delighted I located your blog, I rea...Hello I am so delighted I located your blog, I really located you by mistake, while I was watching on google for something else, Anyways I am here now and could just like to say thank for a tremendous post and a all round entertaining website.
