Hello all! Soon to be new member as XYL and I have purchased a 2nd home just outside Garretson. We'll still be spending most of our time in FL but over the next year or so, much more in SD. Looking forward to it! You can see a picture of the new home on my QRZ page. Best DX! Bob - W4PG

Having trouble hitting the State Net repeater: 444.825. Could someone give me the specific settings for this. I've programed it from repeater book but still having trouble transmitting on it. Can receive transmissions well.
