Thanks for your quick response. It's true that most of the ham grade
portables have far too much tone deviation as delivered. The issue here is
only with VX6's so far. Of the VX6's actually measured one was only 200 Hz
deviation and all seemed low, that is, none were up to 500 Hz. Have
Al,
As far as I know the Quantar PL sensitivity is fixed. Do verify the
programming of the repeater, but then verify the frequency and deviation of
the user radios and fix the user radios; that's where the problem lies.

This is an experimental callsign. The reason I'm familiar with this is I
tried to obtain a WC9 callsign for my county's EMA Ham Club - that was

Which system was he on? SARA, CFMC? I'd be interested

You may also be surprised that Florida is issuing license plates with ham
calls on them to people who are not hams. Several people have seen these
plates with their ham calls on them. Life is interesting. 73 de Tom Manning,

WD prefixes and WD#xxx formats are not reserved for experimental. It is part

The reason I know this though, is from my attempts to obtain a vanity

others. That's when I found

I doubt you would get far with Motorola since the problem is that Yaesu
is not using good engineering practice by not filtering the TX audio to
remove CTCSS components. I would start with Yaesu asking them why not.

I wonder if the Tait 220 stuff is type accepted. Not that I care, but
it may make a difference in whether or not the dealer would try and

I agree with Joe and Nate. The Quantar shares audio and data between
modules on a digital SPI bus, and there is no provision for adjusting the
CTCSS sensitivity. Hello? This is Motorola's flagship station, and a
