Dennis--
Right at the moment, both of my Midland WTs are showing weird symptoms, and I'm now not sure I can get either of them up for todays' test.? I may have to bow out,
regrettably.

Dennis,
I will not yet have a radio by 7pm tonight so, I too, will have to miss this test.? My radios arrive on Thursday, I believe.

No worries, Paul, Suzanne, and Gisella.? Hopefully, we can get this sorted out for next Monday.? For Suzanne and Gisella, I urge you to attend Jim Williams' Zoom presentation on how to use a walkie-talkie this Thursday.? The details are in our groups.io Calendar.

Okay, the radio check concluded at 7:10PM tonight.? Unfortunately, I did not hear from the rest of the group.? We will try again next Monday at 7PM.?

How to use a walkie-talkie
Hello everyone,
There is a free webinar this Thursday that will cover how to use a walkie-talkie hosted by Jim Williams from Frenchman's Creek.? Although it will refer to the Midland GTX1000 often, you can apply the same principles covered to any FRS/GMRS radio.? You don't have to own a radio to attend.?
You can sign up in advance for the Zoom meeting .?

I am looking forward to our test runs because I have no idea whether my radio will work, etc.?

Can¡¯t find the mechanism to change LMH on my Motorola t7400 but will look up online, I am sure it¡¯s easy to find.

We will be conducting another radio check session tomorrow night, Monday, 9/7/2020, at 7:00PM on CH9.? The Calendar says 7:30PM, I know.? But, we might need a little bit of time to make sure everyone is up and running.? If we have some time left afterwards, we can open up the Net for a little Q&A.

So, we have a partial success this week for our radio check.?
Two radio operators were able to hear me but not each other.? I have to conclude that it has something to do with the GXT1000 and similar walkies limiting transmit power to only 0.5W for CH9.? So, from now on, we will SWITCH to CH2.? CH2 is at 462.587.5MHz.? Please switch your walkies to CH2 and set the transmit power to "M" for 2W.?
Remember, use CH2 from now on.
If you have any questions, please present them here and I will try my best to address them.? Thank you.
