I got this radio, receive transmissions, but still can't hear anything

If you receive transmissions then you can hear

Can you hear noaa?

I mean I can't hear anything but static

And yes I can hear noaa

Then nobody is on the local repeater

None of them!? Even ones closest to Highway see when trump is in town

How far are you from the repeater?

Couple miles

Sometimes the ham club has events on Tuesdays and thursdays where they meet up once a week/month via radio and make sure all their equipment is working

It may be your antenna doesnt have enough oomph to reach the repeater

Even the one you told me to buy?

Know anyone with a radio on the other side?

No one

Yeah the baofeng is cheap, light and it works. Keep it in the car on the repeater freqs near you and listen in while cruising

I got a magnetic antenna that I can hook to my baofeng.

Its supposed to increase range by 20 miles

But i havent tested it

Hmmm

I need to get an antenna for my roof

Of my house

Gotta do a bunch of extra shit

Like ground the radio, ground the antenna

Magnetic car is the way

@Ramrod1992 do they stay on at 140+?

Frequencies 140+?

@Ramrod1992 speed 140+

Lmao I dont know

Hmmmm. I wonder if.I would break a window with an antenna at that speed

Im sure

So yea I tried it on my bike rear fender awhile back at about 110 the antenna dismounted and hit the car behind me

I accelerated and got lost

Oof

More concerned about the scratches it left on my fender that sucked

That's why I'm happy that I don't give a Fuck what my car looks like because it goes fast

The shittier it looks the slower people think it js

I’m currently running a 120 ci engine on a street glide that came with a 96 ci fucker can move

And she likes to lean in the twisties as do I so we go fast

I have a beat awd that can break all 4 tires loose... Gets a little scary at times, I have another car for drifting lol so when it happens when I don't try to it catches me off guard

I’m gonna buy this switch bud light for natty daddy
