I REALLY appreciate the fact that you're willing to teach us "newbies." When the camera is on the radios you are a natural teacher. I can follow what you teach easily because you are relaxed and talking normal. Relax and be yourself when you're in front of the camera. You've got this!

I have an Ed Fong J-Pole Antenna. I put it on a 10' PVC mast and 12" coax. My Nano VNA tells me the match is 1 to 2.25. Do I need a metal mast or a longer coax for a counterpoise?
@GadgetTalk4U
@GadgetTalk4U 3 күн бұрын
The first thing I would check is to verify that the PVC is the exact product number he recommends. Thicker pipe messes with antenna effectiveness. Next, check the metal content of any paint you might have used. Generally, paint on the PVC surrounding the antenna is bad.

I saw someone say that the 000000 and then Menu unlocked the radio. You might want to give that a try. Otherwise, this KZbin short shows a reset for a different model that might work. kzbin.infozRN6wFuMuQs Hopefully it resets to either the default PW or no PW at all.

An absolutely fantastic piece of technology. This radio is a genuine tool. This is your companion in the woods, with many great devices built in for navigation through mapping, monitoring broadcast radio, communicating on UHF, VHF, GMRS or MURS. The ability to beacon APRS messages to a regular cellphone at home from your off grid location. This is the total package. My only wish is if they could modify the channel group to more than 16 channels in one scan group. In a metropolitan area that limits the number of repeaters you might want to monitor. I would suggest 24 or 30.
