I can drive through the area tomorrow morning if it still transmitting. btw it seems that the repeater is still working though unless something else is also transmitting on the repeater's output frequency. I can also hear a cell phone vibrator sound occasionally. 73 John Denison KD5YOU On 6/1

I'm not sure if Motorola Online (if I recall correctly) still exists but they sell batteries for Motorola HTs. You would need an account with them though. 73 John Denison KD5YOU On 6/16/2023 10:20 AM, Gus Bernard via BVARC wrote: Hi, all: Can someone please recommend a (online) source for qu

Obviously there is no guarantee that the stuck mic station is someone on the roster, but there are 4 that are in that zip code. That could be a good starting point. Chris From: BVARC On Behalf Of Mike Hardwick via BVARC Sent: Friday, June 16, 2023 4:49 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB

Upon further investigation, the stuck mic appears to be near the Memorial and Eldridge area.  If anyone knows any one near that area, have them check their radios for a stuck mic.  Mike HardwickN5VCX On Friday, June 16, 2023 at 03:47:34 PM CDT, Mike Hardwick via BVARC wrote: After se

Thanks Chris, turns out I had them bookmarked from a previous search. BTW, I've noticed some manufacturers claim to use Japanese made cells, and I like that idea - I'd like to find those, or similar quality. Gus On Fri, Jun 16, 2023, 10:25 Chris Medlin via BVARC wrote: > Ive had success over
