  1. When a repeater has split dcs codes for tx and rx is where I run into trouble. All my Midland radios which have Repeater functions will not work as they assume that one dcs code is being used on tx and rx. So I cannot receive if I use the tone to key the transmitter. Then, another radio is programmable. I still cannot find how to input two codes for tx and rx. I can input a tx code and then instruct that the rx be activated by carrier only. I have had luck with that setting. So I guess maybe Motorola has both tx and rx dcs codes as programmable. I have Garmin handheld GMRS radios with repeater function, but only can use one dcs code. I suppose I need to talk to the repeater owner and ask they be made the same. Am I off base here? Missing some important concept, or is Midland that short on function it can't handle two dcs tones...?
  2. The TYT TH-9000 Seems to be the same as the Pofeng BF-9500. However it is FCC certified it appears. (UPDATE! However it only seems to be part 90) https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/tcb/reports/Tcb731GrantForm.cfm?mode=COPY&RequestTimeout=500&tcb_code=&application_id=E0F0to8UH2ZzxNfW%2BsdSIA%3D%3D&fcc_id=X24-MOBILE-U I have 2 MXT-400 units but being able to program scan patterns, makes the Pofeng/Bofeng/TYT/ versatile and so much more useful. One can use the computer spreadsheet format to include all of the menu functions on the face plate buttons. They have 200 "channels" which frequency nicknames for the display (they don't have to be 16 or RP 16 only), coding specific repeater Tone and DCS coses (useful in mobiles), and even change the function of the PF keys. None of these "paramaters" allow one to program outside of the box. The 400s will be standbys for now. Always on the same channel. Cheers
