Thanks, on the Texas net , found local repeaters and reading all the forums.. Will join some of them to get up and running.
It seems most are using DCS as a PL access so I am finding out how to add the code and seek feature.
Thanks again.
thanks, I see that the repeaters use lower channels for output of transmission. Makes sense now MENU 30 to find tone . Will that allow me to transmit and check radio?? Located near Dickinson Tx so we have a few repeaters in the area. my radio only had 22 GMRS channelsz. I think the radio has allocation for channel numbers so checking to get to channel 28. thanks so much I will try to find some tone for that repeater. I will read the manual more and check on finding how to access repeaters.
.Problem is I am scanning and do not hear anything on all channels or rpters or diy. Must be a trick. CHARGED it and followed book. Firmware up grade in works. Any Ideas on how test and see if anyone is talking. thanks Just heard CW ID on a CH20 . I thought only repeaters did that.??
