I know this is probably not the place to ask but there's probabl;y more
knowledgeabel user here, so here goes. I was haviing problems with the
squelch so I performed a reset, and you need
4 baby fingers to do that! Since the reset I've lost ARS, I have no
repeater offset and regardless of what I do I can't get that funtion to
respond. All the other menu functions respond per the manual. Have I done
something wrong or is there a trick? Is there a 1500 user group, I found
one listing for mods but that's it.
tnx

There is a group for 1500's, although there are not many users......

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ft-1500

Hope that helps.....

Try doing a full reset again. I have large digits too, and find it
difficult. Then use the Windows software with adapter cable to program
your 1500. I do, and do not have any probles, as a keyboard is MUCH
larger than thos little rubber keys on the 1500... 8-)

A lot of radios lose the ARS in conjunction with the "wideband"
modification. If you did a mod, that may be something to consider also....

A Star Tribune letter writer expressed frustration that Tim
Pawlenty and the House aren't listening to her desire to pay
more taxes. She need not feel so frustrated. She is perfectly
free to send any amount of her income to the government or the
nonprofit of her choice. The unstated reason for the frustration
is that she wants the House to raise everyone else's taxes to
pay for the social programs she desires.
