RM>Hi Daryl!

Hi, Richard...

RM> DS>   OK, I'll have to get a repeater database listing, and program it
RM> DS> with that. The thing is, the UV-5R doesn't put out much power (it
RM> DS> wasn't designed to)

RM>It should give you 4W.

  Unfortunately, being in antenna prohibited housing, and with a lot of
trees around outside, it's almost impossible to hit a nearby
repeater...even though it's "wide area coverage".

RM> DS> Besides, what did I expect for under $50??...

RM>They were down to 22 USD on amazon.
RM>Now they cost slightly under 30 USD.

  I'm reminded of the phrase "you get what you pay for". I've
heard that with several of these models, if you drop it, you might as well
get a new one, and throw the damaged one in the trash.

Daryl, WX1DER
