So this is my Question
RADIO 1
(462.5500)
Tx: DCS code
Rx CTCSS tone
RADIO 2
(462.5500)
Tx: CTCSS tone
Rx: DCS code
Theoretically, if they both use the same CTCSS/DCS tones/codes in that recieve/transmit pattern... it would work correct? It seemed to be working on mine unless the radios just bypassed my selection and was transmitting with no tones/or codes because the software won't allow me to do this? We tried at 3.5 miles out and still could Tx/Rx each other also. I would think this combination works fine.
Also, when using tones/codes unless someone is using a scanner (wide open) or is receiving a strong signal from us and their radio is on 462.5500 without those Tx codes programmed into their Rx they wouldn't hear it correct? And or maybe they would hear it with a strong enough signal and a mixture of squelch being set low enough or a weak signal and squelch at 0?
