First, And I\npresume you've already done this, but make sure you a 67.0hz PL tone\nprogrammed on the uplink frequencies and on with a 74.4hz tone, so you can\nturn it on if needed. Next, I set the Audio balance (menu 120) to A band,\nmute the Tx band. \n\nA headset is a good idea for the reason you state. You can use a set of ear\nbuds and still use the Mic. I use a Heil traveler head set with boom mike. I\nlike it since it has interchangeable interfaces for different radios. I've\ngot the adaptors for all my radios. Unfortunately Heil realized they can\nsell more headsets by discontinuing this model rather than just selling\n$10.00 adapters.  I fashioned a Y cord for mine so i can plug a digital\nrecorder into the downlink side of the headset. Fits between the headset and\nthe radio. \n\nEnjoy yourself, trust me, the only thing better than the first time you hear\nyour signal on the downlink. is making your first QSO. Still remember mine\nlike it was yesterday. \n\n\nRick Tejera (K7TEJ)\nSaguaro Astronomy Club\nwww.saguaroastro.org\nThunderbird Radio Club\nwww.w7tbc.org\n623-572-0713\n623-203-4121 (cell)\[email protected]\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: AMSAT-BB [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Walls\nSent: Thursday, March 17, 2016 7:19 AM\nTo: kevino z; [email protected]\nSubject: Re: [amsat-bb] Squelch setting on TH-D72a for FM birds - newbie\nquestion\n\nShort answer is yes.\n  \n Jim - K6CCC\n  \n  \n\n----------------------------------------\n From: \"kevino z\" <[email protected]>\nSent: Thursday, March 17, 2016 4:17 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Squelch setting on TH-D72a for FM birds - newbie \nquestion   \nPretty excited I heard my first satellite tonight, but not without \nbeginner's mistakes. I was not trying to hit the satellite with TX tonight, \njust listening to learn the proper exchange.\n\nI think I did my homework and have programmed SO-50 frequencies in my \nTH-D72a correctly. I put the radio TX in the VFO \"B\" position, and all of \nthe RX in the \"A\" and turned on full duplex. I left the squelch one up from \nopen. I hooked my arrow antenna up, and held the antenna right at the \nsatellite. Nothing. Then I switched to VFO A (RX) and held the monitor \n(squelch open) and heard some folks. While still in VFO A, I switched \nmemory locations while holding the monitor on, to make sure I was on \nfrequency (these RX memories account for doppler). When I heard a QSO, I \nlet go of the monitor and the signal did not break squelch.\n\nSo my question: Must I leave squelch all the way wide open when working FM \nsatellites?\n\nIf so, I guess that I need to buy some headphones so I do not introduce \nfeedback into the TX side while in full duplex.\n\nCould some of you seasoned satellite folks help a new guy out?\n\nthank you\nKevin (KK4YEL)\n\nNo trees were killed in the sending of this message.
