eHam Forums / Station Building / Simple setup question

I recently came into a Yaesu VX-170, with its standard SMA rubber duck antenna. This would be okay if I lived in the city, but as it stands I live about 15 miles out of town, and therefore the rubber duck does not hit any of the repeaters in the area. My question is what is the most cost effective antenna I can purchase so I can hit the repeaters within, say 50 to 60 miles.

How hard is it to find the PL add-on for the TR-7400A. All the repeaters in my area have gone to PL, leaving me in the dust temporarily.

I was thinking of somehow attaching an antenna to my army surplus backpack(or alice pack), with the metal frame. I would only be operating on the local 2 meter repeaters, with an HT. Any suggestions?

eHam Forums / Misc / 2 meter repeater use

I was wondering if anyone else notices that when someone new on a repeater tries to make a QSO with someone, by saying something like "KC7VWQ listening" and then they get absolutely no response. But if someone who is a regular on the repeater makes their presence known talks to someone right away. Is this just a problem here in the Eugene/Springfield area?

eHam Forums / Mods And Repairs / Kenwood TR-7400A microphone
|

I own a Kenwood TR-7400A, and I have noticed lately that the microphone no longer works. I know I have a few loose wires, and when I try to transmit, I have no modulation. If I were to replace the microphone, would I have to get one specifically for the TR-7400A, or would another work?
