Okay.. I am REALLY confused now... I looked at the calculator. I put in my friend's call sign, and it told me this information :
Set RPT1 and RPT2 to your local module and gateway , Set YOUR to /WA6IRCB or just hit the RX->CS button and say Howdy! If "YOUR" is set to /WA6IRCB how am I supposed to call my friend whose call sign is KB0ZSG? And doesnt there need to be a space inbetween the c and the b in /WA6IRCB????? I am sooo confused!!! Also, I was told that If I hit the call button on the 91ad, that a list of people's call signs come up. IF I want to call to call one of those people, do I need to hit PTT while hitting call (and propuerly turning the dial to my friend's call sign at the same time? Or do I tune it, let go of the call button and start speaking? WHy are these things so confusing? Why can;t this stuff be written in exactly the order it needs to be written such as you want to call KG6PPA: your call KG6PPA R1: XXXXXX_B R2: XXXXXX_G and so forth? is there some place that i can find the answer in a clear manner? thank you!
