I appreciate that! Thank you. I’d like to make more videos when time permits. I’ll work on that. 👍

Glad it was helpful! Thank you.

You are welcome.

I’m just catching up on comments. Thank you for the feed back. I’ll try to make more videos when I can squeeze the time in to make them. I’m happy it helped you! 🙏

@@josephdondey3625 Because it’s tedious, or other reason? Wait until you try programming a DMR radio. 😉

@@ryanredd9930 Yes you are correct. The programming sometimes does not show the offset clearly as +5 MHz. It looks like its simplex, but the offset is there is you look in the programming software in a different column. Also be aware that if you already have a frequency in memory, you need to delete it to clear that memory slot, then rewrite to it. It won’t overwrite an existing frequency entry. I’ve run into that more than once. Same with PL simple changes. It may hold it until you change channels, then it goes away. In VFO, it’s not a problem as it’s a temporary entry that can be changed. In memory channels it can’t be overwritten without deleting it first, even for the simplest change.

@@Raymazon Oh wow. That is probably the issue. I did not know it wouldn't overwrite an entry that is already there! That's weird because if I rename it, it follows with the new name. HMMMM

@@ryanredd9930 Yes, it’s misleading. Try clearing it out.

Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand this question. If you are asking if there is a way to hear your own voice, the only way is by listening on another separate radio. You will not hear your own voice on your own radio unless the repeater has a voice-recorder built into the repeater controller hardware. Though technically possible, it is rarely offered on most analog repeaters, and is at the discretion of the control operators or owners to make that function available. (DMR "Digital Mobile Radio" radios can do that voice replay via the Brandmeister server, but that is digital radio, not analog radio, and a completely different radio operation.) Does that answer your question?

@@Raymazon yaah thanks, i thought taat by usang repeater its also repeat your own voice causing feedback

It probably can vary by manufacturer, but typically I've seen the radio frequency offset function as a menu item in most radios, and it's possible that GMRS +5 mHz offset is just a simple switch. You could operate on a frequency on GMRS that transmits on a repeater, or on simplex mode, on the same frequency, with that option being just a simple switch function. What's happening behind the scenes automatically is the same net result.

I'm glad it helped you.

Sorry for the delay. I didn't get a notification from RUclips. It is much easier than that. The A and B may be confusing with the A & B on the radio. Use only A or B on your radio. Everything happens in just the one transceiver (A or B). The concept in the radio of A or B is so you can have another channel or frequency in the radio for convenience. It's not for operation on a repeater. Having said that, enter all the information in the A "or" B VFO, not A "and" B. All the transmit and receive functions will happen in the "A" slot. (Or B slot you prefer.) No need to get into the TDR ON function. It's not used for that. I keep mine turned off. Do everything on just A. Once you have it set, then you can move on to another different frequency or repeater on B if you want to. I usually stay in A for convenience. They (A&B) are not united. It's like having two separate radios in one. Does this help?

Thanks for the suggestion and compliment. I'll put it on the list of topic ideas. I have quite a few others I need to produce first. I'm trying to make the time for more videos.

Sorry for the delay in responding. The 878 and DMR is a handful to learn. Once you understand the programming, it gets a little easier. Send me feedback with what areas you are struggling with.

@@Raymazon Thanks

Sorry for the delay in responding. On my '97, it was in two places. Hard to show here though. One location is near the top of the main pulley, the other was on the driver's side of the block just above the oil pan. I had to recently replace that one. Not too hard, but messy. I didn't film it though. I don't know where the "94 would be, but maybe in similar areas.

@@Raymazon thank you for the response unfortunately nissan changed the layout of the engine after the '94 to a new generation, thanks anyways

Thank you!

Good to hear. Thank you.

Glad you think so! Thank you.

Thank you. I appreciate the encouraging words. I’m working on some more topics that should be useful to others.

Just to make sure I understand it correctly. The repeater input frequency is 147.93 and the output is 147.33. In high/out low. Your radio offset would +0.600. The frequency set in your radio would be set as 147.33, the repeater output frequency, what you listen on. Then do the offset as +0.600 as your transmit frequency. Set your radio receive frequency first, then the offset to transmit. The tone of 131.8 is set as your radio’s transmit tone. You have the option of using or not using the a receive tone. But you definitely need the radio transmit tone to key up the repeater. Does this answer it?

How can I make my kg-805g as a simplex repeater by using a ARGENT DATA ADS-SR1.i want to build a ammo can simplex repeater ?

Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback. 👍

Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Hi Mark. Thanks for the input. I don’t personally use a hotspot currently, but I asked around with some knowledgeable people (thank you Bob) and it was suggested that you can contact Bridgecom, or better yet, to do a search of the words MMVM offset. The feeling is that you have a hotspot “offset” setting that needs to be checked. It sounds like that would be the place to start. The radio is challenging because of the digital aspect. Analog is easy. Once you have the digital working, it should begin to make sense. Let me know if this helps. 73 Ray

Thank you! I appreciate that. I’ll be adding some more content soon-as soon as my schedule allows. It’s a challenging radio.

I look forward to that, I’m only using it for analogue but still got to get my head around the settings, oddly the radio came with repeaters for the whole country built into regions, Im yet to figure it all out and plug it in to a PC, but it found the local repeaters with access in and out without me doing a thing wow @@Raymazon

The receiver is a direct conversion receiver, not a super heterodyne receiver. It’s radio on a chip. 🙂

Can you send a screenshot of it? I’m not sure if you can in comments.

Thanks for your reply. It won't let me do that.

@@toddone2371 I just noticed it on one of the zones that I created. I'll do some research when I have time. I'm not sure what it represents.

Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks. Let me know if there is something I can film to help explain it better.

That’s a good question. I haven’t tried it but will I assume it will because it’s iOS and using the internet via Bluetooth. I’ll post the answer after I confirm it.

Yes it does. I just tested it on my iPad and it works perfectly. Just like on the iPhone. 👍.

@@Raymazon great ! thanks for the info 😀

Thank you for the feedback. I hope it helped.

Thank you! That means a lot to me. I'm glad it helped.

I understand why you might have concerns. I use it on an iPhone and I haven’t had any issues. It’s been very useful for loading up batches of radios for group camping trips lately. The app doesn’t request access to any other files on the phone such as Contacts. It’s a stand-alone app so it’s not requesting sharing of any files. I can’t comment on how it behaves on Android OS. The only thing that has happened is the app will offload if not used for awhile, but that’s an iOS function.

Why?

I’m happy it helped you.

Thank you.

I replaced my transmission at about 250K. The car just passed 500K last week.
