WSCB609

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.

So I have the Encode set correctly at D423N as shown in the original post. Ok, I'll keep working on it. Interestingly, this repeater has been down for 4 days, Not a peep on that channel.

Do I have to set the decode to transmit? Or can I leave it blank for hitting a repeater ? I can hear the repeater w/o a decode tone no problem. Reason I'm asking is I can't hit a repeater 5 miles away with a 20w radio and mag mount rooftop antenna. I have the encode set to D423N.....

You would think as old as radio is, these would be standardized by now. Also, is D423 the same as D423N ?

Thank you for all the answers ! This is going to be a great learning experience !

467.625 uplink...(channel 20) ..uplink tone is D423. is this ctcss or dsc? I have a radioddity DB20-g radio. How do I set the uplink tone. The owners manual is useless !
