Thanks very much for the info. As you guessed, I have a question about transmitting PL. There is a repeater pretty close to me that has PL code xxx.x, in and out. I set up the code for the repeater with the R and T code as CTCS, and the offset is preset in my radio (+5). I can't hear anything from the repeater. Should I have set R and T code as DCS instead? As an aside, on a GMRS channel the other night I heard some guys talking about repeaters, and one of the guys was in Tuscon! That made me wonder why I can't hear anything from my local repeater. Maybe the repeater is just quiet and I caught some weird radio inversion or something that allowed me to hear AZ from NC (haven't heard much since). Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am new to GMRS and I just got my GMRS license (WRJL853). While I've been waiting for my license I've been playing around with my handheld radio and reading alot here and elsewhere. Looking forward to keepin on with the learning and enjoying a new hobby! -Concord, NC
