Hehe, yep. That explains it.

@Sshannon Did you get that big ol tower up? The one you bought a couple of months ago?

@WRYU810 You need to fix the TX on SCV575. You have it at .525. Also, the one above and the one below need to be fixed.

It's in his signature.

Possibly the connectors?

LOL! No doubt!

Sorry, my bad.

Welcome to GMRS the Great Mobile Radio Society!

It is a list of every repeater grouped by state that has a change. You simply scroll to the state, click on the repeater of interest, and see the latest status. It's very quick and easy to see if any of the repeaters I use are in the list. If they are, I just click and see what the status is.

Can't this be done through the current repeater update email?

Those are all different repeaters. You will put each one on a different line/channel. You can give a different name to each to keep it strait. I use the repeater name listed on the website. For instance, I mostly use the Channelview and Memorial Park repeaters. So I have them named as CH VIEW and MEM PRK. Apparently all your repeaters use the same tone. Remember, only put the tone on the Tx (467) for now until you have everything else working.

You transmit to the repeater on 467.xxx and receive from the repeater on 462.xxx. Anything that comes out of the repeater will be heard on 462.xxx. That includes the repeater beep that indicates that the repeater has been activated. Sometimes the volume of this beep is very low and hard to hear. Sometimes it is sent without a tone. If it is sent out without a tone, and you have your receive tone set, you will not hear it. Leave the receive tone out for a while until you feel comfortable that everything is working. Afterwards, you can set it so that you don't have to hear all the extra signals that you will sometimes hear in a congested area. Where I commute back and forth to work. I hear lots of signals from businesses along the highway. I have my receive tone set so I don't have to listen to all that extra noise. Just a primer incase you don't understand tones: A tone on the receive squelches out any signal not carrying that specific tone. If you transmit with a tone: Someone without a receive tone will hear you. Someone with the same receive tone will hear you. Someone with a different receive tone will not hear you. Hope this helps.

@nokones Very well said. I will Like when my reactions are replenished. That's my only complaint about this site, I need more reactions.

Yes, except for the Mode. Sorry I did not show the rest of the parameters. Here they are: NFM is Narrow Band, you will want Wide Band which is FM. You will also want High power since you are using an HT which is very limited in power to start with. You don't need the S in Skip unless you want to skip that channel when scanning. P.S. I had forgotten I had that Scott Meyers quote in there.

I'm not sure who Scott is but yes, changed it to what is correct for the repeater you are using. This is what I meant by "Change the decimal part to the correct frequency."

@OffRoaderX did a video:

@WRYZ421 Yes, that is correct. Many people recommend leaving the tone out of the Rx until you are certain everything is working and adding it in later to filter out unwanted signals. Keep in mind, the tones just tell the radio to squelch out everything that doesn't use that tone. That is what the repeater is doing. If you don't transmit the tone, it will not listen to you. Also keep in mind you need to be in range. I think you mentioned that what you heard sounded distant. If that is the case, you may still not be able to hit the repeater. I can hear the Channelview repeater way past the range I can transmit to it. Repeaters typically use lots of power, the HT I'm using doesn't have nearly as much.

@WRYU400 Oops, meant 21R. Thanks for the info.

@WRYU400 I had written off the UV-17R because I heard that the display is hard to read in direct sunlight but now you've got me thinking about it again.

@WRYT304 Change the decimal part to the correct frequency. The rest should look like this. See https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MemoryEditorColumns for documentation on the collumns.

Welcome to CCRs.

@WRYZ421 Notice that the RX on repeater channel 25 is the same as the frequency for channel 17. This is why you are hearing them. In order to speak to them you need to set up the appropriate tone on channel 25 and use that. Also, you need to be within range. Just because you can hear the repeater doesn't mean you can hit it.

Ryan, is the round table simplex? I would have thought something like that would take place over a repeater.

Check channels 117 - 127 to see if they are there.
