John, thanks. It isn't that I can't hear them; they just can't hear me. I actually can hear them pretty well.

I have trouble with Norwood as well, it's strong here but for some reason 
with the right tone, as verified by the trusty who is a friend of mine, I 
just can't get in to it at times. I don't know about the other one, it's too 
far from me for me to even try it. Keep in mind though a lot of UHF 
repeaters in eastern MA were cut way back on power by the military's pave 
paws system, I don't know about that one but it could well be you're just 
not hearing it.
