If you live near Harford county, I can let you borrow my cable, or I can program it for you.

That's what us hams do - talk about nothing for most of the time. Weather, rigs, antennas, audio, give signal reports etc etc ...
I got a Baofeng UV-5R a few weeks ago and am studying for the Tech test.

(No word about a free radio as was donated in some previous classes)
Those of you who recently got your Extra class upgrades, what study resources did you use?

If you have Amazon Prime, the Baofeng UV-5R Plus comes up on Lightning Deals every once in a while for $30.
Anyone selling an icom ic-718 or ic-7200?
About the pull the trigger on a 718.

Its here! Woot! Ok so I have my beofung setup (I think) I have a couple repeaters setup into memory (hagerstown, frederick and frostburg). I am in Frederick. I also programmed the offset to transmit on and have that saved.
So far so good ( I think)
I am stuck on the CTSS for Receiving and Transmitting. According to
http://www.artscipub.com/repeaters/search/index.asp?state=Maryland
The frederick repeater wants a 141.3 PL Tone.
First what is a PPL tone. I think it is the tone that "ques" the repeater letting it know you are transmitting?
Second, if I am right above how do I "save" this for that frequency, as I imagine each repeater uses its own tone?
If I am way off base please set me straight.
Am I missing anything else?
SO I finally got to talk to someone tonight! Really awesome! I bounced off the 146.73 repeater here in Frederick and reached two guys. One was in Winchester VA, the other in Falls Church VA.
