WRYF792

I have decided to become more familiar with the manual, as everybody keeps referring me to parts of it to help clear up the confusion. I did also watch a couple videos about the radio by some rubicon guy. Thankfully I got the newer version of the radio with USB C. However, I do still think repeaters are sort of an issue on these units. From everything that I can see, you cannot set an input and output tone to be different, there’s no split tone option on the radio. Which seems like a huge dealbreaker to me. So unfortunately it seems like the issues with repeaters still do persist. Also keeping in mind that it is in fact still shortwave only, unfortunately. I may return the radio and save a few extra bucks to get something a little more expensive and feature full. Thank you for your help!

I do not see 165N in my DCS tones on this little radio, would 65 be the right one for that, do you know? I'm starting to feel like I bought the wrong radio to start out. A lot of people online seem to say it's really awful for repeater use.

I have made sure to be logged into both. I started on the repeater map, and actually had a hard time posting this thread for this reason

I'm looking at many local in Phoenix, Arizona. But in particular, I am looking at SHAWBUTE 725, it appears to be a good choice from my newbie perspective. However, in particular, this one confuses me because it says in the description "USE DCS CODE 165N ON THE ENCODE SIDE OF YOUR RADIO ONLY FOR LINK ACCESS" - which I'm assuming may not apply to me, but I also I'm not entirely sure what that means.

The part that I am having trouble with is finding out what the tone is from the repeater info on this site. I don't seem to see anything about that on there. Would it not be showing that if it's an open system?

First and foremost, I am sorry if I am posting this under the wrong topic. Today I just got my little Midland MXT115 from Amazon. I just got my license yesterday and today I’m trying to get it linked up to some local repeaters. I watched a little video explaining how to program for a repeater, but I am very confused about the CTCSS/DCS codes. I don’t see anything on a local repeater on here. I’m just wondering if there’s something I’m missing here. I see an input tone on the repeater as “047 DPL” but nothing about CTCSS or DCS. I also have no idea how I'm supposed to know which channel a repeater frequency is under, I have one on my radio, and I keep hearing static. I feel like I am close to something here, but I'm not sure what to do. I'm not having much luck finding any info for this online. However, it is very possible I'm just not sure exactly what I should be searching for.
