  1. Thank you. When I transmit my call sign and say "testing...testing" what should I expect the return to be if I've successfully hit the repeater?
  2. Hello Everyone, I recently acquired my grms license with the intent of it being a gateway into amateur radio( let the radio addiction begin). I'm attempting to hit my first repeater. 1. When attempting to contact the repeater as a test, what is the appropriate way to do so. Is it just a matter of keying the mike to get a response or should I broadcast my call sign? 2. Radio setup. As I understand it, I should use a offset of +5.000mhrz and then any ctcss or dpl value specific to the repeater. Should the the offset be used when not attempting to use the repeater and just making contact locally. Any additional guidance would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and patience as I claw my way up the learning curve. Regards, John
  3. No recommendations, but I'm in your neck of the woods if you want any testers:) Thanks John
