"73" to you, @RoarinRow

Not sure of that's used by HAM but I'm pretty sure it got its start on telegraph, so it may apply to all

Right on! I dug out my UV-5R to see about programming it with CHIRP - any chance a EG / Sac Ham has a local file for repeaters? Otherwise is the best route to use repeaterbook online?

Thanks and hope to connect soon + chat on the weekly net!

I used Chirp for my other HT and works as advertised. For repeaters I just use the repeaterbook online and manually input the frequencies, etc. or the Chirp software of course.

I use repeaterbook a lot. Especially when traveling.

Repeater Book when I’m traveling... for local repeaters some one from my club gave me an CSV document that I copy and paste into my programming software... and the. I learned that my IC7100 loads in the offset automatically and all I need to do is find the tone.

HAM is more and more interesting as I see how people here make use of it.
