Accessing a Ham Radio Repeater 

little videos like this is precisly how i plan on slowly learning all of this material. thank you

Thank you for this very helpful video. I am new to this, and you have a natural skill at conveying information ( this is coming from a retired teacher ). 73 !

New ham here- SO grateful for you folks that make these videos. This was just what I needed!

You did a good, thorough job of explaining this and it’s made a difference for me grasping it. Other teachers I’ve watched only told the theory but it was you walking through the steps that clarified it. Thank you.

Thank you for this. I watch a lot of videos that claim to teach you how to use it, but this was extremely informative.

Very helpful, basic information. Thank you!

You solved all my problems tonight. THANK YOU!!!! Liked and subscribed

Best video I’ve come across yet. Thank you very much! -KD2YNK

Thank you. This didn’t make sense until now.

Good video.

Thank you.

Thanks. You could probably do a good Carl Sagan impression.

Did you receive that email in the end?

Oh snap I work in the area a few times a week. I should start throwing my radio in my work truck

Just got a btech tri band im here on long island soon to go for my technician maybe one day I could try to make contact with you across the sound

soooooooooo much to learn lol

Great video! But now I am left hanging on whether or not you got that email...

The repeater I'm trying to use has the same ctcss for recieving and transmitting

I am trying to program my radio to my local repeater. I am new to HAM and still learning. My local repeater was found on repeater maps and it has Two frequencies. It is for Hornell NY. The numbers are 53.370- call sign K2TJW and underneath it says 146.865-. How do I figure out what the offset is?

You just need the correct frequency and tone for the input.

If I want to contact a friend for instance using a repeater. Do I need to call the repeater channel or the channel that me and my friend usually use? If it’s the repeater then, is there any way to use the privacy code to stop other people joining our conversation?

Looking for a place to take the tests for my ham license in New Hampshire or on line can anyone give me the information please.

From how far away will I be able to use a 2 meter and a 70cm repeater? I’m about to order an Icom id-52, if that matters. It will be my first ham radio. I’m scheduled to take the test soon …

So how does somebody a county or two over know what freq to be on to hear you?

What is the other radio next to the uv5r?

Hey, I noticed you’re in Connecticut I’m in Bristol what frequency would I program my radio to to listen to Bristol repeater? If you could message me.

So if you and a buddy both have handhelds can you use a repeater to extend the range of your handhelds ?

Newbie here. Can I use a GMRS radio to listen in to and speak to a repeater to reach another GMRS radio.

What was the radio that you purchased for $25 on Amazon?

Would I need the “tone” to just receive from the repeater?

i have a question, in this area i am currently staying, there are 4 repeaters. i can only seem to transmit on one of them. all four beep as i let off the ptt button like it worked, but i have another ham with me with his radio and he isnt getting my transmission from the repeater. i am new this this area, wont be here long, and i didnt plan to get too intimate with the hams in the area, but the local club has two websites and the newest one hasnt been touched in 5 years and their facebook page hasnt been touched in 3 years. both of their websites show conflicting info about the repeater, they do show some of the info needed to get on them, but they do not list the offset values, but say their repeaters are open for all to use, which i find curious. i was able to chase down the offset values from repeaterbook.com. I work in IT so i am tech savvy and i was able to get one of the repeaters to work, but ham is somewhat new to me. any ideas as to why the others wont work?

I downloaded the echo link and it ask for callsign

I have basically the same radio, when I go through the menu and make the changes, they all default back to "off" as if I didnt change then but the radio give confirmation that I changed them. Any clue why that keeps happening? I am not looking to transmit just yet as I am working on my extra lic. and skipping tech etc...

How do I find the code, it’s not listed in the RepeaterBook?

can you show talking using the phone?

Hi where I can get my license

I’m in IL I have a 115’ Tower I want to setup a Repeater!!! Any advice?

What about New Zealand

could you please explain how your echolink in the cell phone recognize your hand held?

I can only hit on repeater. It’s so hard

It looks like the closest repeater to me are 30 to 40 miles away. Will I be able to reach those with a handheld?

What’s the difference between r-ctcs and t-ctcs?

I'm ham certified but still worried about breaking some fcc law

I thought I'd be able to pick up a couple ham radios and be able to communicate 150 miles. No?

Video is poor quality. From time stamp 4:30, the radio LCD is not in the frame and and we do not know what you are doing and we missed what was entered into the radio. Video was not helpful. Will check for other videos for help.

Is it just me or does he sound like Kermit the frog

Poorly done, need a tripod can't see the screen.

This is illegal!!!!

You are moving your camera too fast and too often. After watching I needed Dramamine.

This video would be more useful if I could actually see what the screen was displaying even half the time but apparently whatever camera you're using doesn't have a light adjust feature so I'm just staring at someone pressing buttons a black device
