  1. I downloaded the params that I posted above (including the changes to FM and High Power). I drove up to within about 5 or 6 miles of the repeater location, and I keyed a dozen or so radio check requests over the course of 20 minutes. I did not get any response, nor did I hear my radio checks bounce back to me. I realize it's possible that I wasn't close enough to the repeater, so I am going to drive up later this week to within a mile or two and try again (my HT is 8-watts on high power). However.....as I look at the repeater listing info on the MyGMRS site, I'm a little confused and I have some questions. Below is a snapshot of the frequencies from the "My Repeater" screen for the four repeaters to which I've been given permission. All four connection strings I was provided via e-mail are "DPL662 467 input 462 output 5.0 split". So.....where do these other (below) frequencies go? (462.550, 462.650, 462.725 and 462.625). Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm just really confused! Thanks in advance for any help
  2. Awesome! Thanks very much for the help and advice. I will test and report back
  3. Thanks very much! I've coded everything and I'll be testing it out tonight. BTW - How can I set up the unit so that I'm able to hear the radio-check come back from the repeater? I've seen a few vids where they do that, but these are two separate frequencies, so I don't really get how that works
  4. Oops, sorry. I mistook the "Scott Meyers" quote as being directly from you. Thanks very much for the help. So the parameters are: DPL662 467 input 462 output 5.0 split. Do the below setting in Chirp look correct?
  5. Thanks very much, Scott. I will try that. One question: Should the frequency be 462.550000 (as you display) or 462.000000? Asking because 462.000 seems more logical based of the numbers I was given. Please clarify. I greatly appreciate the help!
  6. Thanks very much for your response. Here are the available columns: Frequency, Tone Mode, Tone, Tone Squelch, DTCS, RX DTCS, DTCS Polarity, Cross Mode, Duplex, Offset, Mode and Skip. Most of the columns have dropdowns with limited values (Tone Mode has only three options TSQL, DTCS and Cross), and the DTCS Polarity column (for example) is forcing me to enter a value of NN, NR, RN or RR. What do I do with that? In any case, it's a bit confusing trying to shoehorn some of these values into columns that don't seem to correspond well. Can you help me identify which values go in which column?
  7. I've been using the Chirp software fine with my UV-5Rs for a few years, but for the first time I am trying to program a GMRS repeater connection. I received permission from a few local owners, and they all sent me strings of characters. But I cannot figure out how to code into Chirp because the column names (and dropdown values) do not seem to correspond. Here is one example: DPL662 467 input 462 output 5.0 split Can someone please tell me which items go where in the Chirp grid? I greatly appreciate any help!
