How long did it turn out to be? I wonder if this works on the MXT275.

I think it would be an excellent sticky to have at the top of the equipment review section

try inputting ctcss 141.3 on all your repeater channels and keying up and throwing out your call sign. If you hear it ID immediately or you hear a squelch tail after you key down you found a repeater. 141.3 is considered the travel tone and many open repeaters use it. After you find a repeater try calling out at different times of the day on it requesting permission to use it. That is what I do to access unlisted repeaters. So far everyone I have contacted has been very nice and usually don't mind you using them as long as you are licensed and don't abuse it. Things most repeater owner don't like is kerchunking, foul language, interruptions of on going conversations, and unlicensed users. Most repeater owners welcome more users so don't be mic shy.

15 to 20 miles but there is one high on a commercial tower that is close to 30. The higher the tower the further you will able to hit it. I am not far from you, I am down in the south east corner near DE, I may try to hit a few of the repeaters in your area the next time I am going up to cabelas.

Kerchunking is the act of keying up a repeater and not saying anything. When ever you key up while searching for a repeater tone always throw out your callsign.

Has anyone been listening to 462-5750 systems In the Delaware county regional and southern end With people with non-licensed. Talking/singing on the system. I currently use Aston Mills PA GMRS system And every time I use it. We've been getting a lot of . Interfering the guy calls himself Larry on it.. and Ware all getting Upset because . These guys who use the repeater and actually were just on it today need To Get off . I don't know if this is where the FCC comes in. But no one's doing anything about it. And they tend to go on a different system Every few days. And doing Stupid sounds. Almost like People who have (((chew In There mouth)))) anyone came across it.
