I recently replaced the battery on my FT-470, which has a telescopic
antenna. Recently, I have been having trouble accessing local repeaters.
My repeater shift is set to .6 MHZ on 2 meters and 5 MHZ on 440. Is this
the correct repeater shift? If so, what are some other things I could check
for? I am living on the center floor of a 3-story apartment complex and can
hear the repeaters ok. This problem did not occur when I lived out in
Gresham. My apartment complex in Gresham had 3 stories and I lived on the
center floor just like I do now. I can hear repeaters ok, but I can't
transmit to them. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
