Hello all,<br>
<br>
I too have noticed that I do not hear a squelch tail when I use vhf.
I thought that it might be my settings, but they all look OK. UHF
works as I believe it should, with the squelch tail. Going to look
at the settings again and see if I can find any problems with them.<br>
<br>
I plan to bring the Baofeng for the SES next month. If every station
location is on the repeater, we can communicate with everyone who is
active. That way everyone will know who is on what band and when
they are active and QRT.<br>

Wednesday net 8/19 -- This was rather frustrating. Perhaps I
just don't understand how the link affects the vhf side of the
repeater system. Often I would transmit but not hear a
squelch tail. I assumed that I was not keying the repeater.
So I started keying, listening for a tail, and if it was
there, keying again to talk. Sometimes that worked but
sometimes not!<br>
