[bars] Question on programming

[geoffreyf at comcast.net]

Echolink is down for WB1GOF

From Middleton, it might depend on exactly where you are there.   An HT to the WB1GOF repeater in Westford is a bit of a reach, even with an aftermarket antenna and a super advantageous position.  Mount Wachusett's is not in Middleton 🙂

Subject: [bars] Question on programming

I have a Yaetsu FT -65 and this is how I programmed it.

Receive Frequency Transmit Frequency Offset Frequency Offset Direction Auto Repeater Operating Mode Name Tone Mode CTCSS Rx CTCSS DCS Rx DCS Skip Step Tx Power Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4 Bank 5 Bank 6 Bank 7 Bank 8 Bank 9 Bank 10 Comment
 146.95500 146.35500 600 kHz Minus 1 FM BILL2 T-Tone 74.4 Hz 100.0 Hz 023 023 0 Auto High

I can hear everyone most of the time but when I transmit I am not getting through. I have called QSO a few times over the last 2 days to no response.

Wondering if I am not hitting the repeater as I live in Middleton or do I have something programmed wrong.

On another note, I do have an echolink but I am unable to find the station, any help there would be great.

Thanks
Steve
