Essential Skills Setting Up Any VHF/UHF FM Amateur Radio Transceiver
Two meter FM is the backbone of all local amateur radio networking. If you cannot do these things with proficiency, you will be a hindrance, not a help with communications!
Basic:
-
Adjust Squelch level (For many handheld radios this is a menu, not a knob.)
-
Adjust Power output level
-
Monitor input frequency of a repeater to see if simplex can be used between stations.
-
In VFO mode, know how to enter frequency, offset, and PL tone.
Advanced:
-
Set up a memory bank with all local repeaters
-
Set up a memory bank with all approved local simplex frequencies.
-
If radio has extended receive coverage, set up memory bank with local emergency dispatch frequencies.
-
Know how to set your radio up for a dual watch or priority watch on two channels, so you can listen to an active channel, but don't miss a call on your assigned simplex channel. That way if net control wants you to stay on a certain channel, you'll be there, even if you get bored and go listening to some other channel.
