[Programing PL tones into Kenwood TK-880]

It would seem he already understood that. His question was about why he cannot program a tone.

The picture shows otherwise

Your pic shows you only have a receive tone programmed in.   You’ll need a transmit tone to open the repeater likely. 

[Northwest Regional Net?]

I am interested in expanding the net to Northwest Washington.  I run the repeaters in Whatcom County.  While I have a baseline knowledge of RF and setting up repeaters I do not have what it takes to get them linked.  
 

there is a local net Tuesdays at 1800 on the Lookout machine.  
 

and Pacnw send me a message for the tones on Lookout.  There are parts of Seattle it will reach.
