Hi Brian Annette, this is Sebastian WA7EDZ and I'm coming at you from Ravenna on a new radio. I got a V-Tech UVPro and with it I got a Bluetooth handset called the TS22, which I'm talking to you over right now. I was holding it a little weak and it broke my mouth a second ago so it probably got pretty quiet. But I've been noticing a bit of white noise on it. I think that's what you were complaining about earlier. And I have no idea how it sounds and I couldn't get a signal check a little bit earlier. So I'm just thinking maybe I'll kick it back to you and see if you can give me a signal check. Alright, well I was looking at the voter scope too. So as far as the transmission, you're hitting the Capital Park Master almost completely at 255 and hitting a bunch of the other inputs at some lower levels. Yeah, your audio, yeah definitely I noticed when you pulled it away a little bit it was quiet. But even when it was back to normal I would say it's on the quiet side compared to other people checking in tonight. So I'm not sure if there is a way to up that gain or even get a little closer to the mic without making noises and stuff like that. But yeah, definitely. And yeah, there is just some white noise on the background. And the way the noise sounds I would almost think you had a weak signal, but looking at the voter scope the signal is very strong. I mean probably S8 coming into the repeater, or the receiving station at least. But then it still had this white noise. So I don't know if that's something to do with the radio or the Bluetooth headset itself. But yeah, there is definitely a little white noise. The sound to noise ratio is not very good on it. So, but it's still you're very intelligible. No problems there. So hopefully that helps with the report there. Not sure if you have access to kind of a parrot or anything, just kind of listen to yourself. A trick that we do sometimes is you can stream the PSRG. What is it on SoundCloud? What's the site? I'm blanking right now. But you can stream it. If you go to PSRG.org there is a stream link. You can actually click that. And it has probably, how is it, about a 30 second delay. So sometimes you can do transmission and then listen back to yourself in like 30 seconds even. And like I said, that can be a little bit deceiving in as much as you need to know how you compare to other people and stuff. In a vacuum it may not tell you much. Let me reset. But yeah, anyway, it sounds like the new radio is, you are having some fun with that. So yeah, go ahead and keep experimenting a little bit. See if there is a way to up that mic gain at all. But other than that, congrats on that new B-Tech radio. Man, that sounds like a lot of fun there. Having the hands free and the Bluetooth is always pretty fun there. All right, thanks Sebastian. You have a great night. All right, I am Brian, KE7, KZH. This is the 9 o'clock net on the PSRG repeater in Seattle, Washington. That was the bottom of the list again. So let's go ahead and say, I think I dare say final round here, but we will see how it goes. If there is a large round I could always do another. But let's go ahead and say final round here. If you would like to get in on this net, new check-ins or rechecks, please come ahead and call sign first name.
