wqss651 got a reaction from n1das in Use of Travel Tone
I am simply asking an open question here for anyone, not an argument.
So everyone licensed for GMRS have an understanding that 141.3Hz PL tone is an open travel PL Tone.
So why do people use that tone on a repeater they list here and ask for an email contact prior to use of repeater, if I am traveling, I cant possibly expect a response back within minutes right? If you want it selectively used wouldn't you then use a tone OTHER THAN the well known travel tone 141.3Hz? So... Just asking. I do have a repeater, no longer on air as I live in a very low spot and it didn't even cover my small town from my home.
I guess what I am saying is if you don't want your repeater to be an open access repeater for ALL then wouldn't you select a PL tone other than the common travel tone?
Just asking...
