Actually, I can see the repeater tower, line of site approx 6 miles. All info on that repeater does not list any tones. So, I'm confused.

Does that mean I would transmit on CH 16rp, then have to listen on standard CH 16?

Completely confused Newbie here! I recently purchased a MXT275 and Radioddity GM-30 and am trying to connect with the Diamond Point Repeater near Payson, AZ. Info indicates the freq 462.575/467.575 (no tones indicated). I hear strong tfc on CH16 (MXT) and RPT-2 (GM-30). I also receive the repeater indentifier both voice and morse code on both radios. Should I be transmitting on CH 16rp (MXT) and RPT-2 (GM30) and would I (assumming someone hears me) be answered on the same channels as I'm transmitting on? Thanks, Tim WSAC215

Well that explains it! Thanks

Having a problem with measuring SWR. Using the adjustment knob will not let me get to the "SET" mark. With th slightest turn of the knob it will either peg clear to the right or left. I have a Midland MXT275 connected to Midland MXTA25 3db Ghost antenna. The meter is a ASTATIC PDC2. Any thoughts? Worked fine with my old CB's.
