  • Is there a proper procedure when one is controlling a repeater for changes or sending it codes, etc.?
  • Do I need to add the jumper wires that came with my SignaLink for digital communications or just plug it into my radio?
  • Is there an issue with the local repeater’s audio amplitude fluctuating? (Hint: Yes).
  • Are there people pirating 144.000? (Baofeng default frequencies out of the box?).
