SK2 + Up / Down (or RD5R equivalent buttons)
Thanks, i will try tomorrow, here is now 2a.m.
Will calibrate in 145/435mhz just for fun with another antennas. Radio works nice, no need calibration, i was first time just thinking it is a phisically calibration malfunction and posted questions here.

Power calibration should always be done using a 50 Ohm dummy load.

It was DMR on my RD-5R that helped me find Romanian food in Los Angeles!

I had the Promiscuous Mode turn on and heard a conversation in Romanian on the Romania TG in Los Angeles. I broke in and someone from Romania had just landed at LAX.

I told them my great-grandparents were from Romania and I wanted to find a Romanian restaurant and they told me Parsnip in Highland Park!

Delicious!
