Your monitor should respond with:
HB was 300/1200
HB now 1200/1200
4. Turn ON your VHF or UHF FM transceiver and tune to a known packet
channel in your area. Most packet operation is on simplex, so
the repeater offset on your transceiver should be disabled.
If you know there is packet in your area, but do not know the
frequency, you should try some of the following frequencies:
2 meter (144 MHz) band:
145.01 MHz, 145.03 MHz, 145.05 MHz, 145.07 MHz, 145.09 MHz
144.99 MHz, 144.97 MHz, 144.95 MHz, 144.93 MHz, 144.91 MHz
1-1/4 meter (220 MHz) band:
223.40 MHz, 223.42 MHz, 223.44 MHz, 223.46 MHz, 223.48 MHz
70 cm (440 MHz) band:
440.975 MHz, 441.000 MHz, 441.050 MHz, 441.025 MHz, 441.075 MHz
You know you've found a packet channel when you hear the
characteristic "Braaaaaap" sound of packet transmissions.
5. Once you've found an active packet channel, you must make sure
you have enough receive audio (volume) from your transceiver to
light the DCD LCD on the PK-900 when a packet is being
received. If the DCD LCD does not light when packets are
received, either there is not enough receiver audio or the
Threshold control is turned too far counter clockwise.
You must also make sure that the DCD LCD goes out when no packet
signals are present on the channel. If the DCD LCD does not go
out when the channel is clear, make sure the Squelch control on
your transceiver is set high enough to silence the speaker. If
the DCD LCD stays on when the packet channel is quiet, your
PK-900 will not send packets to other stations.
