And I'm dead stopped in traffic in Hartford.
00:02
Something's going on.
00:03
Ways didn't warn me until I got over here.
00:05
So now I'm stuck here.
00:07
It looks like there must be an accident somewhere because we aren't, we are moving.
00:11
So hopefully you got over there, (name withheld).
00:13
And you've got a chance to test.
00:15
And we'll see if you're ready here.
00:17
KB1AV.
00:18
2G, I'm back. All right, I just changed it from encode to tone squelts, and I receive you using tone squelts on 156-7 and not on 151-4.
00:28
That's weird.
00:29
I'll have to, uh...
00:30
Here come the police, there's an accident or something up here.
00:33
I'll have to look at it a little bit closer with another radio, no.
00:35
The reason we did it is because the FtX1 does not have that search feature.
00:39
So (name withheld) decided, you know, kind of cool, why we just put tone squelch in here and just zip, just turn the dial up and down and go through the appeal tones until we find the one that opens the squelch.
00:48
And he found that they were all working fine except for this one repeater was 156.
00:53
And then I said, let's try it in a radio that has the built-in search feature.
00:56
And indeed, the FTM 500 and the FT5D hand...
00:59
Held also find that 156, 7.
01:02
So maybe it's a bug with the a ACE's stuff too.
01:05
Anyway, I'm interested in know what you find.
01:06
Yeah, you've got my curiosity peeked down too.
01:08
Let me look at it and see if I can see what it is.
01:11
And, oh, God, these people in Hartford, you know, they've got to wait to be the first one in line that they can't bother to merge in to get on the exit until they almost hit the Jersey barriers, you know, unbelievable.
01:23
And now they're all, they all got this plugged up.
01:25
But, yeah, the board has one microprocessor, it's got one set of dip switches to make it.
01:33
encode and decode the P.O.
01:35
Okay, here come the police.
01:36
Nobody will pull over for him.
01:37
I pulled over the guy behind me is, uh, it's just pulled right out so that the cop can't go anywhere.
01:43
What's wrong with people? It's got the siren and everything on, and I saw him coming, so I pulled way over so that you could get by me.
01:51
And the guy behind me just pulled right out in front of the cop.
01:53
He had to get on the horn even more.
01:56
And we got one, two, looks like three accidents here.
02:00
One right in the tunnel, where it looks like they ran right in the back of the car.
02:04
And there's one just on the other side of the river here on 84.
02:08
That's why it's got it all backed up.
02:09
Managed to get off on a 91, but yeah, that's got my curiosity peak now.
02:13
Mess, all right, I won't keep you, pay attention.
02:15
We don't need you get it into the mess and have someone else hit and hit you.
02:18
I'll talk to you at some point.
02:19
Thanks a lot. Sure, (name withheld), have a good evening.
02:20
Yeah, I'm on 91 north now.
02:22
It's clear sailing, but just the other side of the tunnel on 84, you know, you go to the East Harvard, over the rivers where it's all the big debacles.
02:29
A couple accidents in there, and, you know, doesn't take much to screw it up.
02:33
Have a good evening. KB1AEV.
