[Midland MXT 115 help]

I specifically asked this question to Midland... this is the response.  I haven't tested it yet. It seams odd that channel 19 would hit both the RX and the TX of this repeater.

 

Hi,
 

1. Enable the repeater channels.

1. Press the menu button.
2. Press CH UP until “rP” is displayed.
3. Press the scan button to select.
4. Press CH UP until “On” is displayed.
5. Press the scan button to save and exit.

2. Change to CH 19 RP.

1. Press CH up until CH 19 RP is displayed.

3. Add the 100 Hz PL code to CH 19 RP

1. Press the menu button.
2. Press CH UP until “Pt” is displayed.
3. Press the scan button to select.
4. Press CH UP until “ct” is displayed.
5. Press the scan button to select.
6. Press CH UP until “12” is displayed.
7. Press the scan button to save and exit.

 

 

Best,

Hello, I am having issues connecting to my local repeater. the settings are as follows..

Repeater Name: 

Location: 

Frequency: 462.650 MHz

462.65RX

467.65TX

PL of 100.0Hz

I have permission for the owner to use this public repeater, but can not get connected.

can you walk me through how to do this with the MXT115

 

[Another Newbie question - Programing MXT115 to reach the repeater]

Following in case I've missed something. I have a MicroMobile 115 as well.

 

My understanding is the Midland MicroMobiles work on a Narrow Band and we can not program the Receive and Transition as different frequencies, and a lot of repeaters have different tone in and out as you say.

 

I'm hoping I've missed something and I can get mine to work as well.

[GMRS newb - need some guidance]

Just for completeness... This short period of signal, sometimes followed by a beep, is commonly known as a Squelch Tail.

Thanks ! this will help as I try to hit a local repeater.

[GMRS newb - need some guidance]

New here... If I do a signal test like said above how do I know that I am reaching the repeater?  

 

Thanks,

[What radio do you have for your car / truck?]

Do you want a GMRS certified radio? Or, would you accept something without certification?

As I'm new to this, I'm not sure what Certification means... from what I've read that refers to FCC certification... I would say I want to stay with what is legal to use right now... might venture off at some point, but not at the moment.

[What radio do you have for your car / truck?]

Interesting... I have a midland micromobile 115 that they just sent me with some handhelds to test on trails when overlanding.  I've used their handhelds for a while.

 

What would you recommend fo a car mounted system?

[What radio do you have for your car / truck?]

As long as one understand that if you use them in an area where repeaters are split-tone then they will be pretty much useless for hobby or serious repeater use...

 

That's really the pity because it would be very easy for Midland to fix the issue but they apparently have no regard for their customers. PT Barnum was right, I suppose.

 

Hey, I'm new to this and just learning.  Can you explain why the Midland MultiMobile radios wont work?  

 

thanks

[Welcome!]

Hi all, New member here.  Jumping in to both  CB and MicroMobile GMRS.  Looking forward to seeing what is out there in Vermont
