What if everything is programmed correctly, I key up, and hear nothing??

so my T-CTCSS on my radio is the INPUT tone for the repeater?

@SteveShannon, are there any repeaters near Cherokee, NC that I can access? How do I know if I'm accessing them when I transmit? WSJV 482

WSJV 482 here, i just recently, as of 08/29/25, received my callsign. I am still confused about connecting to repeaters... On my radio, I have C-CTCSS, C-DCS, R-CTCSS, and R-DCS... What is the difference between these settings and the INPUT and OUTPUT tones listed on the repeaters' information pages and which do I use for INPUT tone (R-CTCSS or T-CTCSS) and which do I use for OUTPUT tone (T-CTCSS or R-CTCSS)? And, what is the INPUT frequency and what is the OUTPUT frequency? And how do I program them into my radio? Thank you, any advice is appreciated! In Christ's Love, WSJV 482
