Is there an option to switch off reposts to avoid seeing so much duplication in Blue sky?

I've used a Watson glass mount 2m/70 antenna on the rear screen of my car for a couple of years now and have been surprised how well it has worked. Only running a 5w Handheld through it but it reaches the local repeaters πŸ‘πŸΌ

The mic is just a cheap one from AliExpress and the plug cable bend protector was too long so it tended to work its way back out Every few mins. Cutting some of it off did the trick :)

Today I fixed an intermittent PTT fault on my cheap Quansheng that I use in the car. It was caused by the hand mic plug not pushing in to the radio socket fully. Fixed with a penknife and no soldering required. ☺️
