[W1SMH] 706MKII PROBLEM

[Frank Svoboda]

I recently purchased an ICOM 706MKII and can not figure out what I am =
doing wrong.  The instruction manual is confusing about setting repeater =
functions.  I thought I was following the set up instructions properly =
for the SMH repeater but I can not get into the repeater.  The quick =
split is on and is set at 0.6000 Q6 RPTR tone is 127.3.  The power =
setting is 5 watts.  The rec is at 147.195 and the txr is 147.795.  I am =
putting out a signal at least I think I am my SWR meter shows about 1.5 =
when I transmit but nothing happens. =20

I am using a 2M plumbers J-pole about 15 ft in the air.  I have =
installed a choke of 10 turns of RG-58 around a 1 in pvc pipe connected =
at the base of the antenna. =20

Can any of you who have a 706 tell me what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks!
