I will be at Arnesen's reef this weekend and if someone else has a radio and a channel it helps to pass the day. Thanks alot guys<P>b-n-d

Curt and All: Channel 7 is the frequency you use to transmit, the "Little Number" as Curt put it, is the subtone that only opens the squelch so you can hear the transmitting radio when you both have the same setting. In the Two-way business several people share the same frequency, but don't want to hear each other's transmissons. With the subtone they can hear only their own traffic... That's why we need to set them all the same.. Now if you want to hear everyone on that channel, set your subtone to "0". That way you'll hear everybody, but they won't hear you if they have a subtone set in their radio. Someone said a while back, "Let's choose numbers that are easy to remmber", hence the 7/11 was born, like the Quick Stop Stores.... Kaipish.....Kaz
