Oh, That Explains It....


On my commute this morning, I could not help but notice that the .33 repeater was very quiet. When I got to work and was gathering my stuff to go in the office, I think I found the problem:


Yep, that'll do it.

I use an SMA to PL259 cable to connect the output of the handheld to the input of a Mirage BD35, but that is the third cable I've had on the radio in only a few months. They just don't hold up. They don't appear to be suitable in an application where it gets moved around a lot and are disconnected and reconnected a few times a day.

All the more reason I am so happy to see this notification in my email this morning :)
