    That's what I think, but I don't understand one way obstruction . Like a diode.

    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.

    If the signal is blocked LOS one way, why not the other?
  4. 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 ?

    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?

    Well, many are.

    I believe the internet and cell phone service is required, correct ? I searched and found no info on that question.

    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 ?
  9. 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.

    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 ?
  14. WSCB609
    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 !
