I wanted to share this COAXIAL LENGTH CALCULATOR based on an Excel template by M5BXB and runs locally on your computer. I like that it has most of the information like velocity factors and all wavelengths multiplied out readily available onscreen. It also gives coaxial loss and power compensation data.

Warning - you will have to convert meters to feet

download here from M5BXB site

Mark: Thanks for stopping by Len, VHF is busiest, the 146.52 calling freq and 147.52 digital freq are fairly consistent. It's just a short scan through to find others. Oct 17, 2020 9:02:13 GMT -7

W7CCE - Len: Thanks for your work. By listing the simplex frequencies you have helped me a lot. I would be interested in which frequencies are most popular in Arizona (Gilbert). Oct 10, 2020 10:40:47 GMT -7

Mark: The Phoenix Matrix frequency has moved to 445.250 due to uncoordinated interference. Oct 7, 2020 18:44:06 GMT -7 *

Mark: Beau, also see www.yaesu.com/jp/en/wires-x/id/id_active.php for a complete active list of active Rooms and Nodes. Aug 30, 2019 22:54:33 GMT -7

Mark: Hi Beau, my node is usually just on during the weekends, so that's why it might not be connecting. You might try 145.330RX/144.730TX on the White Tanks or 443.150/448.150 in Scottsdale, for wider coverage area. Aug 30, 2019 22:53:37 GMT -7

beau: New to this (FT-70DR), taking technician test next week. I cannot get my radio to connect - flashes "wires" and goes back to 445.275 on the screen. If anyone can tell me how to program this radio so it connects, it would be much appreciated. Aug 17, 2019 16:02:05 GMT -7

Mark R: Thanks for the Welcome!! Have a new FTM400XDR trying to understand the digital and messaging function/GM Jul 8, 2019 12:54:53 GMT -7

Mark: Welcome Mark R to our forums. Please post any questions you may have so all can help.

Mark: Hey Vernon, do you mean a FTM-400 by chance? There are several people here, including myself that can help you! Please sign up for membership so we can PM you or post in a thread. Jun 22, 2019 22:33:01 GMT -7

Vernon Lewis - Just learning: I am just leaning how to connect to this Wires-X - probably not getting it right with this FTM-300. So far, no luck Jun 22, 2019 11:19:44 GMT -7
