DMR Anytone Zoom invitation
Robin Amundson
From: Jamie Hughes / WA7JH
Good Monday Afternoon,
I’d like to offer a DMR radio programming clinic again. I’m offering it this Friday evening, yes I know, it’s the night before Field Day starts. 😊
This is a clinic where you are encouraged to actually program your radio during the clinic. That means you are able to ask questions as we progress. The programming procedure will be:
I cannot help you with computer issues during this session. I am willing to help you before or after the meeting if needed.
All are welcome though, come learn about the programming tricks before you take the plunge into DMR if you’d like.
Here is the zoom link and an invite is soon to follow: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/

Dont know what it wont work now... Scratching my head.

Re: Cougar Repeater Receive

Howard: I have found it sometimes does not work for me as well. I think it's due to low signal level into the repeater.

Re: Cougar Repeater Receive
Announce on air that you are going to do a test. Say your call sign then say testing, then while the mic is keyed push 123 then release PTT. The repeater will say "ready". You then push PTT and say whatever you want to test. Release PTT and your recording should be played back quickly. When that is done announce on repeater that WA1HEM is finished testing. Thanks, Rowland

Re: Cougar Repeater Receive
Paul Butzi (W7PFB)
1. Ensure you have your radio configured to send DTMF
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
2. tune radio to the SNOVARC repeater in question 3. Hold down the PTT and dial 123 on the keypad 4. Release PTT. The repeater should respond with voice saying “ready” 5. Hit PTT, talk into mike. 6. Release PTT. Repeater should play back a recording of what you transmitted in (5)

Re: Cougar Repeater Receive
I just did a recording test on the repeater at 50 watts and what I heard had lots of white noise. I am at 550' and should sound much better. Thanks, Rowland

The DVR Readback test is called by DTMF: 123 I checked cougar repeater receive via the DVR readback at 2, 30 & 50 watts from my base station at the home QTH - Was able to copy all three transmissions, although as expected the signal had more noise on it a 2 watts. Was not able to copy cougar repeater (via DVR) from my HT at 5 watts, outdoors at my location. But that has always been the case here. My home QTH is 7 miles East of Downtown Duvall at an elevation of 550 feet. My Base Antenna height is 30 feet. Base Antenna is a Hustler G6-270 Dual Band 5/8 Wave, 8 foot vertical Jim W7ABD

Possible Novelty Hill Closure
Hello, Please be aware that Novelty Hill may be closed at the end of June for slide repairs. See the following from KC website: Novelty Hill Road Closure End of June Roadway and hillside repair work. The work requires a three (3) week FULL ROAD CLOSURE in both directions. The closure could start as soon as 9 a.m. on Monday, June 29. We will reopen no later than 5 p.m. on July 24. While the road is closed, crews will repair the roadway and hillside, which were severely damaged by a slide last February. Signs will direct motorists to detour routes. Expect delays. This work is weather dependent. See the following site for more information... Thanks, Rowland

Fw: Our remote VE session are starting . . . we could use some help.

From: Dave Wickert <dwickert@...> Date: Sun, Jun 14, 2020 at 11:18 PM Subject: Our remote VE session are starting . . . we could use some help. To: Ronald Poole KF7YHQ <snwbird1111@...> (Hi Ron. Can you please forward to club members? Thanks.)
Hello all! Our remote VE team’s first step is behind us and it was a huge success. We have a team of over 20 VEs accredited with GLAARG and we are starting our second set of exam sessions. We could use some more VEs! The larger the team we train, the more candidates we can license . . . As you would expect, there is a huge demand right now for testing. We have not had in-person testing for many months. And this pandemic has certainly raised everyone’s awareness for emergency preparedness.
Would you like to help? Do you have extra time to help someone get licensed?
It is easy – the first step is to get accredited as a VE. You do not need to be an ARRL-VEC accredited VE to participate. We use the Greater LA Amateur Radio Group as our VEC with remote exam sessions. Their requirement is a statement that you are aware of the Part 97 regulations for VE testing and will comply. As a VE you can be licensed as either a General- or Extra-class. On the hardware side, all you need is a computer with a webcam that can run Zoom and a stable Internet connection. Everything is done remotely across the Internet.
Sound interesting? Just drop me an email and I will get you looped in!
Thanks.
73.
