TX Problem

[rickp]

Hey guys,
I'm new here and to HAM. As a result I'm having a little issue.

I just got my Kenwood TH-F6A radio that is fully open and I'm trying to program it so I can add it to my typical family radios one buys in radio shack.
The problem is I'm able to Rx but not Tx any ideas why, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks and looking forward to learning a lot.

R.

The radio is only going to trasnmit in the Amateur part of it's frequency coverage if not modified to do otherwise

nevermind i got it. I had to change the offset setting to 0 from 5 MHz.

Next quesition though. will this affect my repeater use? I'm noit sure why that setting was like that.

If you program each channel in the VFO mode then save it to memory it will hold all the saved channel information and you wont have any problems. Now just remember to check or reset your offsets when programming and saving the info for repeaters to memory banks.
