Hi- I have two questions for the group.
I’m a relatively new ham and have a question about programming my Yaesu radio. I’m a volunteer with the National Park Service.
We patrol the parks using a FRS channel to communicate between ourselves. We patrol on mountain bikes and keep the radios are in our back packs. We need to monitor the park repeaters for status checks. I have the frequencies stored in memory bank 1 of the radio and I can get the radio to scan all frequencies. Is there a way to have the radio scan all frequencies – but have the radio default transmit to a home frequency? In order words – unless I need to respond to a park service call – I’d like the radio to transmit on the FRS channel…
Question 2. One of our park repeaters uses an offset of 8.3625. I can only get me radio programmed to 8.35. This seems enough of a difference to where I can't get the repeater to respond...
I appreciate any help
