I heard one person trying to call a specific person.Have you managed any contacts yet on the repeaters?
I am a little reluctant to call CQ using a repeater. Is that considered a faux paus?

You can identify yourself and ask for a signal report. If anyone is monitoring it will give you an idea of how well your signal is being received. Kerchunking the repeater is not a good indicator. You can also get out on 146.520 MHz and call CQ. That is the All Call frequency for 2m. Look around for repeater nets in your area. You might need to go mobile to get into one for the time being but it's a good way to meet other HAMs and get an idea of protocol.I heard one person trying to call a specific person.

Mine came with a manual that had instructions on how to program. If yours don't have manuals you can go here for the cheat sheets and Cliff Notes.I picked up a couple of baeofungs a few years ago , no info came with how to program
