Re: [BVARC] Bad connection problem.
How many miles between Katy and the repeater? I've had no problems checking in from Deer Park with my old ICOM W32A & am at least 35 miles from repeater site, use a 5/8 wave 2 meter antenna (maybe next Monday may hazard a try with plain RUBBER DUCK. I've been under the weather past few months so haven't logged in when too cold to go outside. BTW: If anyone is looking for a good BASE station, I have a Yaesu FT-840 for sale, with ORIGINAL INSTRUCTION MANUAL and hand held Mic. with Power Pole power plug. Will include an antenna tuner. ALSO have a Ranger DX5054 ALL MODE 6 meter rig with a NEW M-2 HO Loop (Antenna still in BOX, NEVER USED.) $ 500. cash for both, or $ 350. for the Yaesu FT-840. Hope everyone had a good CHRISTMAS, 73 D.

Re: [BVARC] Bad connection problem.
Jose, were you trying to hit the repeater from Katy with a handheld radio (with an antenna directly attached to that radio) from Katy? If so, that was probably the issue. You will likely need to get your antenna up higher for a 5 watt handheld to work from that distance...
