Sure, I think it's a good thing to run the Net for half an hour.? I'm also available right now if you want to do a quick radio check.? Remember that we switched to CH2 (462.587.5 MHz no PL).?? This gives everyone the full 2W of transmit power.? If you have a BF UV-5R, you should be capable of reaching the outskirts of OC using the stock antenna.? I did this test already with my son.? I use CHIRP to program my BF.? My guess is that you are missing that last ".5" in your frequency entry.? If you need help programming your BF, I can program it for you using CHIRP.
As an alternate approach, do you have a UHF radio that can TRX FRS?
