Hello and thank you for reviewing my questions. I appreciate anything you would like to share.
I purchased two Rocky Talkie 5w communicators. Unfortunately the range is short of where I need them to reach for my purposes. I believe connecting to a repeater will help.
I located a repeater in my area and got approval to connect - check.
I used the Rocky Talkie frequency chart and programmed each/both of my handhelds with the proper channel code - check.
I used the input and output tone listed and referred back to the Rocky Talkie chart and input the code associated with the freq in each handheld - check.
I assigned W-wide band to each handheld - check.
So why can’t the handhelds communicate with each other? We are standing right next to each other and get no voice in either.
What am I doing wrong/missing?
Key info -
Both units use same FCC call sign (family)
Freq 462.600Mhz = Rocky Talkie Repeater Ch17
Input and Output tone 100Hz = CTCSS code 12
