Well ok, it's a basement window.
Not sure about a quick set up. That url seem to show what I've already gone through so I'll say yes.. I've been going through the manual and pretty sure I've taken all the precautions so I don't die. I know, legal requirements. I managed to program one channel earlier from watching youtube but not sure how I did that. Watching and pushing buttons. Nobody's transmitting anymore so I'm not certain it's receiving but I think it can hear my handheld. I can't get it to transmit anything I can receive. Yeah, it has an antenna but I can only get 12v power from my truck and that's still gerryrigged until I fully connect the battery power into the cab. They give me a long wire but the piece on either end are too big to fit through the tiny holes that I found in the firewall. So, the primary thing I'm looking for is how to get the local repeaters to accept it's transmissions.
I just went to my truck that has the FTM-400 and wrote down some steps to program a repeater freq, just for you.
Go to VHF mode and program RX freq using mic keypad.
Press FUNC button, find SQUELCH and set for TONE or TONE SQUELCH as needed. Find and select desired TX POWER LEVEL. Press FUNC to exit.
Press and hold DISPLAY button, select SIGNALING, set TONE FREQ. Press BACK then select TX/RX then select mode. (Or you can select mode later with the red DX button). Press BACK.
Select CONFIG then select RPTR SHIFT then SHIFT FREQ then STEP SIZE. Press BACK to exit all menus.
Press and hold FUNC button to program into a channel of your choice.
If that doesn't work please send me address of window and a time to sit outside.
