1. There is an OB net that we have on EchoLink every Friday night, so come join us if you can. There is an EchoLinkk app for Android and iPhone as well as a program for your computer that can be downloaded from their website. You can also check in via plain old RF if you have an EL capable repeater in your area after you get your radios set up. Just make sure you have permission to use it with EL first, because the repeater trustee may not want it tied up for the hour or so that the nets tend to run. Below is some info to get you started:Hey folks! I passed my Technician license last month and I'm finally getting around to installing my radios! I've been listening on a Baofeng UV-5R for a few months and now I'm putting on my big boy pants with the FTM-400 XDR and the FT3D, both from Yaesu. My new call sign is KN6FCS. Looking forward to my first contact and to diving deeper into this crazy rabbit hole. Thanks to everyone for all the great info here on OB.

Hope to hear you on the Echolink soon. I run the 400 also and love it.Ryan K4TXN here...(General Class)
I'll have to check out the OB net via echolink or DMR with my Pi-Star hotspot.
Run a Yaesu FTM-400 XDR in the Tacoma with NMO drilled in the roof. Need to replace a board in the Icom IC-7000 to get it back in with the Little Tarheel HP.
I play with D-Star, DMR, and YSF through a hotspot and Wires-X via PC or our local repeater.
Look forward to meeting fellow HAM's on the trail.
