<p><font face="Times New Roman">Getting other's suggestions is a
good idea. But when I got my UV-5R here on Martha'sVineyard, I
could hit the repeaters in Falmouth on Cape Cod but I got no
return confirmation tone or transmissions from anyone. Someone
looked up my call sign, found my phone number, and called me to
inform me of that. I was operating at Squelch level 1, the
minimum programmed into it by Baofeng. Now, using my settings
on my 5-, 8-, and 10-watt Baofengs I have no problem. I use a
mag mount mounted outside my second-story window on the air
conditioner housing and a Cushcraft Ringo antenna just inside
the same window. Chris Knowles, N1CAK</font><br>

<div>Ok I did do a little research and most sites have suggested
6 or 8 increment spacing. I would like my radio set up to
where I have the best possible operation. I'll see what others
say. Thanks Chris.<br>
