Usually it’s CW Morse Code identifying itself.

Yep, that’s correct. The offset is already programmed in the repeater channels. All you have to do is input the TX tone. I wouldn’t put a RX one in yet. Once you confirm. Then you can add RX. I never use RX tones. Well, I haven’t had to yet at least. Also, if you’re inside your house. Try it outside too. Just to see. Luckily I can hit most of mine in the area from inside my place. Even standing next to windows works wonders. No problem at all. Glad to help.

Super cool, thanks! Actually, only one GD-77s. The other is either a Midland MXT275, or an Anytone TERMN-8R. Perhaps they're covering up for the weakness of the GD-77s' front-end filtering with clean output into a low-noise area? I know I don't have any repeaters nearby, the only thing I can hear from here is, occasionally from a hilltop, a Jacksonville repeater automatically ID'ing, so I suspect I'm in an unexpectedly favorable RF environment. Terrain is Florida, so flat as a pancake. I have a few repeaters handy when I go to the beach, but the middle of the state is a dead zone. Also, I'm the only one who ever uses those repeaters in Cocoa Beach, as far as I can tell; I like to monitor them and SARnet when I'm beaching it up. This place is just a dead zone, for the most part. Every third time I drive by a park, I hear DMR on channel 16. Occasionally a kid with a walkie-talkie after Christmases. But for all I scan, I don't hear much at all. Edit: Nah, you were right. I just checked the maps, and it's closer to 1.7 miles to the grocery store.
