[Houston 725 help]

Where'd you find or hear about it? I couldn't find it online. Wanted to see what its range was, because I couldn't hit it from home. Or there's at least no tail squelch (Did I use that term properly?). I'm near IH10 and BW8 on the east side.

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)..

This might've been me. I got my GMRS license a couple months ago and was just seeing what repeaters I could hit from home.

 

Time line coincides with my testing/keying up. Never transmitted a message though and don't recall anyone transmitting either.
