I don't know how to clear out receiver tone yet. I have been experimenting with it and there are three settings that I think are related. They are all currently turned off. Does that mean its cleared out now? I have set all of them to 146.2 and I was hearing what sounded like Morris code every hour on the 45 past the hour consistently. I was assuming that was the repeater identifying itself. There is also a travel tone advertised as 141.3 but haven't heard anything with that tone set into the three listed below. T- CDC R- CDC C- CDC The repeater frequency is 462.675 MHz. I can enter that into the radio but then I cant transmit until i switch into a simple number station such as Repeater station 20 for example but I dont know what frequency that is. So Im wondering if I have to set the frequency to the actual station and assign it to that station. Not really sure what Im doing but I no longer get the Morris code. I have been picking up my kids school transmissions on channel 22 (not repeater station I dont think) which is kind of strange but interesting. haha Thanks for the reply!

Hello- new guy from South Jersey, I picked up a handheld for Jeep trips, camping, hiking and more, Ive been reading your forums and learning a bunch. I think I get the generally idea of how repeaters work (tones and whatnot) but havent quite figured out how to make it work for me. Maybe Im too far away to use my local one which seems to be 7.5 miles away with an advertised range up to 50 miles. I don't know. I have alot more to learn. Looking forward to getting all this figured out and being capable of joining in the conversations here. PS- my new handheld is is a Rugged Radio GMR2. Ive read they are similar to other entry level handhelds out there but cost a little bit more. If there is a better radio id appreciate the tips as my kids will be needing to upgrade their Walki Talkies and of course Id like the best bang for my buck. Thanks
