[bars] Insight needed for my UHF/VHF mobile.

[Gary's Ice Cream]

What brand is that radio?  I don’t recognize the model #.  If it is a Yaesu then I’ve found that the RT software doesn’t really like most Yaesu models.  I had constant problems when I had two identical Yaesu 7800’s.   Had a lot better luck with the free program “Chirp”.

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!
