  1. Hey now thats a slick idea. I hadnt thought about it but you really only need the power on the hot side. If you have the time, Im sure you have explained this before, but could you elaborate on what "tuning a repeater" entails?
  2. I would love to do this as well, but it seems really daunting at this stage. Finding info on wiring two mobiles together (because off the shelf seems crazy expensive) has proved very difficult. I would be ecstatic to find a way to wire two mxt400s together.
  3. Yeah, I am a little surprised by the lack of interest. It seems to fit my needs which is car to car, hunting, and camping. There probably is a better solution for what I am trying to do, I'm just unaware of it.
  4. Guys, thank you so much for responding. I will put all your suggestions in action this evening and see what I end up with. I am currently researching how to manually enter both freqs on the Baofeng, but my MXT I dont think allows for customs offsets. I'm wondering too, if I am being a little too optimistic about the repeater range, or the range of my equipment. Looking at the coverage circle I'm well within the boundary, and roughly 2.5 to 3 miles from the repeater at the absolute most. Im using a 6db gain antenna on the MXT400, at full power. Seems like it would be more than enough, but if I knew what I was talking about I wouldn't need as much hand holding. Thanks so much for the help and patience.
  5. Hey guys, Im new, and off to a bit of a rough start. I got my callsign and permission to use my local repeater, but I am unable to make contact with the repeater, and I think my settings may be the issue. Gear: Motoraola MS350R Midland MXT400 Baofeng BF-F8HP Repeater settings: Output: 462.675 141.3hz Input: 467.675 141.3hz I have a Midland MXT400 with the Radio tuned to GMRS20 Repeater, with the tone set to 141.3. I have my Baofeng set to 462.675, + 005.000 for offset, with both the RX and TX tones set to 141.3. With these settings I can TX to the Midland from the Baofeng, but not the other way round. Have I made a setup error? Thanks in advance for the help.
