is HT, handheld transmitter? What model?
yes, if I am understanding you correctly. Manually edit the config file to include it and also bypass any "software locks" with a text editor and flash that to the handheld.

some of them don't work with chirp but you can use their own software and manually edit the files.
Ok. So, for the repeaters, do you just listen or converse? I’ll tell you where I’m going with this in a moment.
For programming radios, I’m very well-versed with how, and with what.
I’m very good friends with the owner of Rugged, and know the owner of Grundy (and Crete). Monday nights (tonight) on Rugged at 9pm we have a regular net, called the Monday Meltdown. There is an occasional member, also named Matt, that has an HT that for whatever reason is a PITA to get the repeater shift to stay programmed on the memory channel. So instead of keying on the repeater input he’s keying on the output, so only one or two people really close to him can hear it.
Since both of your names are Matt, I thought it could be you
. Last three of the call are 846.
For the “hilarious” night conversations, last week Thursday we had a few people that were imbibing, so it was getting petty funny. They will occasionally use Joliet since two of them are fairly close to it.
We do have a problem on Rugged with a couple of non-authorized people are intentionally jamming the repeater, playing all kinds of trash, DTMF tones, alerts, etc. All of it unprovoked, and started last August. FCC are really dragging their feet to get it stopped.

Yeah. KrakenSDR took the hunters right to their doorsteps.
Lol. No not me. I haven't been on in awhile.

LMK if you want to join the net at 9pm tonight on Rugged. If you don’t have them, you’ll need the PL tones to access the repeater (it’s a private repeater). Since you have listened in the past, you know it’s really laid back.
What are you using for a “base” set up?
Should have them if they haven't changed.
I'm running a Kenwood TK8180 with a J-pole antenna in the attic.
Thanks to the fantastic
Mook I have added a few tabs for both amateur radio and GMRS information. These include HF/VHF propagation tools for DX'ing and NVIS, Band Charts and Grid information, APRS information (including the new SMS gateway), and also some GMRS stuff. If anyone has some good sites, let me know, and I'll add them into the tabs.

Mr_Roboto and
Lord Tin Foilhat - note the updated thread. If we get a list going of active ham radio and GMRS users, I'll ask Mook to make us an Amateur Radio crew.
I'm blind, and looking above. I haven't done it yet but I want to start making a bunch of metadata files for various radio things to put them into an SDR.
You’re blind? So, only working CW? You one of them side-keyers?
Does this count?
For working digital modes (i.e. FT4, FT8, etc), if you need to see how far off your computer's clock is, this is a good site.
time.is
My Mac is pretty good, my Windows machine was not. Had to force it to use the ntp.pool.org to get it close enough.
Time.is - exact time, any time zone
7 million locations, 57 languages, synchronized with atomic clock time.

One of the reasons I got a toughpad for my setup was the gps module built in to it.For working digital modes (i.e. FT4, FT8, etc), if you need to see how far off your computer's clock is, this is a good site.

How well does the GPS receiver work indoors? When my dad had his roof redone last year he went with a tin roof (for longevity). I told him it was going to kill any RF in/out and GPS signals. He didn't think it would be that bad. He now regrets the decision.
