Hello all.
I hope that this question is not too basic for you, but:
If I am traveling with a mobile rig, how can I know if there are any
repeaters in the current area and what their frequencies are?
Do all 2m and 70cm repeaters generally operate within a certain range of
frequencies?  What I mean is, would it be possible to program a radio
with all possible repeater frequencies and just have it scan for
activity while traveling, or do I need to know exact frequencies for
specific repeaters in the current area?
Again, I hope that this makes sense and is not too basic.
Pardon my ignorance, but I would greatly appreciate any assistance in
understanding the whole concept.
I just got a Yaesu FT4700RH mobile rig on lone from HandiHams and am
trying to figure out how to get the most use out of the unit.
I'm still looking for a text manual on the web, but haven't found one as
of yet.
Any additional suggestions for operating this particular radio would
also be appreciated.
Anyway, thanks for the help.
