[Houston 725 help]

Is there anyone else out in this same area?

 

I managed to find another repeater on this frequency with a different DPL tone. Once i managed to figure it all out and key up to say hi, I was very disappointed in the response...

 

Not sure what I expected but I guess after I mentioned I was new and they were the first* people I had actually gotten a hold of, I kind of expected (or hoped) for a friendlier response than "Well this is so-and-so's and so-and-so's repeater, so I'd just put the mic down."

 

I mean, I get it if its their personal repeater, but it was a very disappointing first experience. Especially after the effort of scanning for their DPL code (I had never done it before). Could've at least asked me who and where I was. Or trade callsigns with me...

 

 

 

*Just wanted to clarify I've found other repeaters, but this was the first time I had found someone on a frequency I could legally reply back to (i.e. GMRS)..

Well don't get off on the wrong foot.  People are like that on everything even HAM and now GMRS.  So there is a new repeater near I-10 and 610 on the West side.  It is on 462.675 tone 141.3 and open to you and any other licensed user.   I try to monitor it when I am at work near that side of town.  Feel free to use it at will!

How do you know it's a repeater?

I heard it identify in CW but was in the other room and only caught the numbers 91.  Can't seem to locate it anywhere.

Thanks for any info.
