  1.    WRUE951 reacted to an answer to a question: What would generate a Morse code ident on channel 6?
  2. WSCB609
    Yep, same thing, that could be it. (What is CW?)
  3. WSCB609
    Can't, it's arbitrary, never at a set time and lasts about 3 seconds .
  4. WSCB609
    To fast for me to ident... maybe 4 numbers/letters. Only happens every few hours.
  5. WSCB609
    Channel 6 in GMRS is limited to 5 watts Max. 462.6875
  6. WSCB609
    My radio can scan all gmrs frequencies.. some times I get a morse code Ident on channel 6...max 5 watts.... what could it be? " 06 462.6875 2 W 12.5 kHz 5 W
  7. WSCB609
    That's what I think, but I don't understand one way obstruction . Like a diode.
  8. WSCB609
    But 2.5 miles away? If I move antenna 25 foot south, I can hit it. But 25' north of that location, I can hear full clear, but not hit it. I'm trying a J-pole and an Yagi. That makes no sense. PS, another repeater 6.5 miles in another direction, I can hit it full clear with same radio/antenna.
  9. WSCB609
    If the signal is blocked LOS one way, why not the other?
  10. WSCB609
    If I move the antenna 25 ft to the south, same height, it will hit the repeater, forgot to add that part. So settings are correct. My question is , if LOS is that critical, why can I hear it full clear in its current location? (25' north of where I can hit it.) But can't hit it now ?
  11. WSCB609
    But the same radio and antenna will hit another repeater 6 miles away different direction. I know my tone and offset is correct. (Both repeaters have same tone / offset) just different freq. There is a slight hill+house+trees in between us, so my line of sight is questionable. Even tried Yagi pointed that way. I'm 20watts and swr is 1.2. If the hill is a problem transmitting, why not receiving?
  12. WSCB609
    Well, many are.
  13. WSCB609
    I believe the internet and cell phone service is required, correct ? I searched and found no info on that question.
  14. WSCB609
    This would seem to be good information for emergencies. That way I could focus on programming and hitting ONLY repeaters that have power backup. The Gulf Coast network knows this information. Question is how to find out ?
  15. WSCB609
    I'm assuming they all don't have generators. I'm also assuming the Springhill repeater does.

    It's not a HT, it's a mobile unit , 20W's. I'll keep working on it. There are trees in between though, that may be it. Thanks for the answers ! FYI, I know there is a 5 meg diff between Tx and Rx.
