Thanks. You helped me. By asking about the other MENU settings related to TDR I went through the others and saw that somehow I had enabled the REPEATER-MODE.

Yes indeed. They play Battleship by Radio on the Gallatin repeater at 462.650 (141.3Hz in/out) on Wednesdays at 730pm. The Gallatin repeater bleeds over with the Brentwood "Grasslands" repeater (same frequency, different tone).

Well Negative Nancy, I will correct myself as far as needing to ID at the beginning of your transmission, That is not required. Everything else I stated IS correct.

That is directly from the FCC.
As you can clearly see I have absolutely no issues admitting to my mistakes and did post the correct information.
Now stop being such a negative asshat to everyone.

Pretty much. Now a couple of us that are veterans will occasionally use military radio protocols just to message with others. In reality, just talk like you would with people in the same room as you.
FCC regulations say to ID at the beginning of your conversation, and again at the end of your conversation. You also need to ID every 15 minutes if you are in a long conversation. This is standard procedures when using most repeaters. Most people don't worry about adhering to the ID requirements as much when talking on simplex channels.
100% correct.

FIXED!!! I had MENU #54: RPT-MODE enabled to RPT-TX. I must have done that by accident as I was walking through all the menu options. I turned that to OFF and now everything is working properly. My mistake!!

TDR should work as intended in channel mode. Getting the double beep sure sounds like the radio is locked. I tested the TDR on my KG-100G Plus and the only time I get the double beep is when the radio is locked.
Double check menu #47 AUTOLOCK and make sure it is set to off.
Other than that, I really don't know what to tell you. I tried duplicating your problem and the only way I get a double beep is when the radio is locked.

No, it’s an example. 

FCC Part 95 Subpart A - 95.303 Definitions:
Base station. A station at a fixed location that communicates directly with mobile stations and other base stations.
Fixed station. A station at a fixed location that directly communicates with other fixed stations only.
The Term "DATA" Is Not Referenced In These Definitions For The Type Of Transmission.
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-95/subpart-A
 

Fixed station. A station at a fixed location that directly communicates with other fixed stations only.
This statement would seem to indicate that a repeater is not a fixed station as it does not communicate with only fixed stations. Therefore talking to it is not the action of a fixed station. 
I will agree that this topic has been discussed for what seems an eternity. With some grasping the rules and others arguing the perceived vagueness. I would agree that for a radio service intended for friends and family the FCC could or should have written the rules for such. That said, all the debate is for what end I have no idea. Who is being affected negatively here? As Bill Murray stated in Meatballs it just doesn’t matter. 

I hope you stick around and I hope you do ask questions. Some are more difficult than this one but sometimes people just need to chill and remember that they weren’t always so perfect. 

Hi Dave,
 
Gil, @wruu653, pointed out that the repeaters appear in a search if you turn on Stale and Offline repeaters. But then I found something weird, a mismatch (I think?) between map view and tabular view.  If I do a tabular data repeater search to include stale and offline, both repeaters appear on the map.  But if I go to map first and turn on those two switches for stale and offline, the repeaters don’t appear on the map. I have written to Rich, the site administrator, to learn what I might be doing wrong.  
Anyway, if you do a repeater search to include Stale and Offline repeaters, both Eureka repeaters appear in the list, allowing you to select them. If you do that they appear on the map and more importantly the owner’s call sign is available for you to contact him.
You might want to contact the owner and ask him to update his data on the site.

Martin aka WSCD723 made this post a year ago. I would guess that by now he has confirmed that his radios work. 

I regret to say I haven’t mounted it yet, but will start with a ghost antennae.

I really like the Ghost. It performed much better than I expected it to. It does seem like a good choice for heavy equipment.

All of the Ghost antennas i've tested (more than just one brand) all performed better than the UT-72G antennas I tested them against .. that should give a baseline that they aren't as bad as "some people" repeatedly claim.

Tune your antenna and they'll just work  

I follow this type of programming scheme also.  Local (Phoenix) Northern Az, Southern Az Western Az, Eastern Az.  Both portable and mobile are set up the same exact way.  Only difference is I have a few less zones on mobile as I can put more channels in there for a bank.   I did 2 friends like this and the like it also.  This way when traveling they just go to that zone to listen to traffic. (Scan list is by zone also but user programmable)

Thanks I will try them.

I'd give 10:1 odds there's someone in the club who would be glad to help. IME. most hams aren't actually hostile to GMRS, but the ones who are make a lot of noise. Most hams love to share knowledge. I'd be glad to help if I lived close. In exchange for the tone to your repeater, of course. 😉

Once again, if he weren't being an ass and interfering with official operations, he would have never come to the attention of the FCC and they would have never known what kind of radio he was using. Don't be an idiot.

This is true. When you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

You can quit using your cellphone. It’s based on wireless two-way radio and digital voice technologies. 🤣

And most phone land lines are now VOIP which is also digital.

Don’t forget WiFi, Bluetooth and satellite radio/TV.

OUCH!!!! I bet the doctor kicked himself over that.
We have an issue with our Motorola Quantar 2m repeater. The inrush when it first transmits will trip the 12v dc to 120v ac inverter. The only way to get around that was to put a line conditioner in between the repeater and the inverter. One of our older club members was trying to catch the inrush to see how many amps it was with an old, but good, analog amp meter. He learned right away that an analog meter was not quick enough to catch the inrush. My new Klein CL800 just barely caught it.
We never did find the exact fix for the inverter throwing a ground fault and shutting down when the Quantar firsts transmits. The Tripp Lite power conditioner is the only way to keep that from happening.  The weird thing is that our older Motorola 70cm repeater and our Bridgecom GMRS repeater are both plugged into the inverter and there are no issues.
