Hi Richard,

I'm glad that you found the problem.  I don't know how many times that I've 
turned my 2 meter FM rig on and couldn't figure out why there weren't any 
signals.  I finally realized that I forgot to switch the antenna switch to 
connect my antenna.

Have fun on the air!

Hurray!  I did it!  Special thanks to Kevin, my very first contact ever. =
How cool is that to put in your log book : )  And thanks to Don too.  =
Everyone was SO helpful, kind and patient.

Guess what my problem was?  There's that section of four knobs in the =
lower-right of the rig; and the upper-left of that controls RF gain =
)outer ring) and something else )inner ring).  Well, they were both =
turned all the way down.  I guess RF gain has some importance in all =
this ; )  I'm sure we all thought it was something silly - and indeed it =
was!  Hurray!

73,
Richard KK6MRH

144.33 MHz is NOT a simplex FM frequency. It is in the OSCAR sub-band =
and should NOT be used for terrestrial communications.

FM simplex frequencies are 146.40 to 146.58 and 147.42 to 147.57 MHz. =
There is NO FM below 144.60 MHz as that area is reserved for SSB and =
other modes. The national simplex calling frequency is 146.52 MHz.

Please check http://www.arrl.org/band-plan for details of band plans.

FM gets the lion=E2=80=99s share of 2 meters so please respect users of =
other modes by not intruding into their band segments.

Hi!
=09
I have tried to make my first 2M contact on my new Kenwood TS-2000 =
without luck. I *think* it's setup right. Basically, I have followed the =
instructions for this per the icanworkthisthing.com =
<http://icanworkthisthing.com> "Quick Start Guide" at the link below. =
The following are my first of many questions:
=09
1. When I rotate the tuning knob clockwise increasing the frequency, =
sometimes I hear a "beep." What does that mean? It seems to happen at =
random, even frequencies; like 145.300, 146.400, etc.
=09
2. Well, since I live in LA, I expected to hear a lot of traffic. But I =
only hear really faint and scarce squawking - really I hear nothing. Am =
I missing something?
