Hello again.

To everyone who responded to my 1st email - Thank you! It's good to know
I'm not over my head without someone to help. Instead of writing individual
responses, I thought I would cover some of the answers here.


   1. My Radio: QYT-7900D
   2. Repeaters: I can hit both BIllerica and Westford repeaters with my HT
   hooked to the same antenna as I'm using for the mobile, so it's not an
   antenna issue.
   3. I checked each of the menu settings in the QYT, all 53 of them, and
   everything looked fine.
   4. The last time the mobile worked, I just finished talking on the BARS
   Net on Wednesday night, and was listening to the QSO afterwards. I tried to
   respond to a call out to me, and nobody could hear me, even though I could
   hear them.

At this point, someone has generously offered to meet with me and put a
dummy load on my mobile so we can use a Watt meter to test its output to
determine if I toasted something on the inside.  I'll let you all know if
we have determined the problem (operator or hardware), and if I'm in the
market for a new triband or dual band FM mobile.

Thanks again!!!
73!
