Did you put the R75 in FM mode?

I've done this while at the same time monitoring this frequency with a hand-held scanner, and the scanner picks up traffic quite easily. I don't get it! UJ in AR What antenna do you have on the R75? I have tried listening, and found that a many-yards-long random wire is just not the right thing at these low-VHF frequencies. See if you can borrow a CB antenna from somewhere, connect that to the R75's coax antenna connector, and see it that isn't better. Or whip up a 10-foot-long folded dipole, with the feedline length an odd multiple of 5 feet. Try habging this vertically. -- R F Wieland Newark, DE 19711-5323 USA 39.68N 75.74W Icom R75 Heathkit GR-81 Inverted-L in the attic Reply to wieland at me dot udel dot edu |
