Let's see, It desenses its self on 146.76MHz, the Number 1 repeater split in america. When the batteries get low it forces its self to transmit until they are gone completely. Also it won't go out of the ham bands, ever. Now that I think of it, The Vertex FTL-2011s in my care will do split

There are many devices that generate signals on 146.760 MHz. It's just a fact of life - like cable TV interference on 145.250 MHz. At least the latter can be solved easily. I've had interference on 146.760 MHz on my radios since the late 70s with the release of the home PC. I would also debate

Yeah, It's one thing when the stuff in your house is doing it, but it is completely different when it is the radio its self. I don't care either way as I don't own a 202 anymore or like the crowd on the local 76 machine On 6/1/05, mch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are many devices that

To paraphrase a saying: Birdies happen. Yes, it may have been more smart to put it what is usually a repeater input than an output. But, there are more expensive ham rigs with less well placed birdies - such as on the UHF satellite band. BTW, I too agree that the tight front end is a feature,
