we traced Matts issues to a problem with the intercom.  driver channel does not transmit to anything other than its own helmet speakers.  co driver fully functions as it should.  all cables swapped and knobs fully adjusted no go other than issue staying with driver side of the intercom.

torq was pretty noisy and seemed to get walked on pretty hard when we were prerunning. 

i think Matt should get his own channel also for multi race entrants.
Title: Re: Rugged Radio programming & Lifetime Channel info
Post by: mr.mindless on February 09, 2016, 05:10:24 PM
Need multi-watch or many radios at the pits if we all start running different channels.

Could help in-car though. I can imagine when one is talking to the pits it could get annoying for other racecars.

Torq is on a bad frequency there - in use by a ski resort within range.

I was reminded this weekend that LIFETIME was removed from my vx2200 in car radio at KOH this year when TORQ was added.
Awesome.

I'm over my anger of the moment, and I just ordered programming cables for both the handheld radios and the Vertex 50w radios. Should be here in 2 weeks or so after the slow boat from China. I'll be getting one of my junker laptops set up to program radios along with reading OBD codes and I'll probably just leave it in the trailer, then we can all get synced up and make adjustments in the field if needed.

TORQ is a bad channel at Line Mountain too, I heard what I think was race ops traffic on it. It's known that KOH1 is a police channel there as well. I used SANDLIMO there without issue Saturday, that could be a good backup for us.

Torq 151.955 no tone

Lifetime was still on my 50w, just buried in the 4th tier of channels where I didnt find it.

Trying to figure out how to edit this channel list...

69 & 70 on all my handhelds now if that's what you mean?
Title: Re: Rugged Radio programming & Lifetime Channel info
Post by: M4wdFab on July 01, 2016, 10:37:03 AM
ya, that sounds right- because we are the first 2 additional channels added to all of our radios to the standard rugged race program addons
Title: Re: Rugged Radio programming & Lifetime Channel info
Post by: mr.mindless on July 01, 2016, 12:00:38 PM
I had different settings on one of my 3 and it was missing a bunch of channels. now they all match.

I also adjusted the banks on my car radio and put I think KOH1 KOH2 weatherman torq and lifetime in bank 4. not many to look through. button 3 cycles through the channel banks. lifetime was still on my radio, just off in the 4th bank and all alone, I didn't know the radio well enough to find it.

shit is super easy now that I know how to do it.

10% off any time with "pirate10"

if you know exactly what you need, big savings buying white label stuff direct on amazon or ebay than going through rugged, but the ease of selection is worth quite a bit sometimes.

We have no use for dual band radios, right? We don't use any UHF frequencies?
Title: Re: Rugged Radio programming & Lifetime Channel info
Post by: mr.mindless on March 14, 2018, 11:27:41 AM
yeah we're all using VHF only.

I'll be looking for another heavy set to mount in the truck. Probably one set that I'll migrate between cab and box for road and pit use.
