Hello all,
My first post here and very very new HAM radio and it's uses. Just now getting into the hobby. I recently purchased a cheap Chinese HT and like it a lot so far. Programming is fine and listening to lots of stuff. Also, just began studying for my technician license. I do have what's probably a premature question but hope you guys can help out. I took my new radio to work (which currently uses Motorola handhelds with a repeater). I looked up our company's frequency on the FCC database and am able to hear everything but I am unable to transmit to anyone. I know there are many settings that could affect this but wonder if would be possible for you to let me know what needs to be done. I currently have a company issued Motorola on my desk that I routinely communicate with the rest of the people on my site. When I key up the mic on the new Chinese HT the red light flashes on my Motorola but I can't 'hear' anything coming in from the Chinese HT.
Do you know what kinda of settings I would need to look at this to make it work?
Thanks,
EZ
