Hello - I'm new to 2m and just started groping my way into what I need to know. I've held a General ticket for a couple of years. However, my main interest is PACTOR comms via Winlink while aboard our sailboat (/MM or /C6A). We've been to the Bahamas few times; having Winlink to back up other options is great.
I inherited a Baofeng UV-5RE Plus from a friend, sadly SK. At this point I'm able to program the radio, etc. My biggest concern is a way to organize the entries. That is, being NW of Philadelphia, I want the 2m repeaters for the counties/areas I'm most likely to be in. So far, so good. Repeater Book is my friend. But! Is there some way to tag a cluster of calls with at least the country name in some form? I guess I could add a two letter code to the back of each call, but if I'm missing a useful option...?
