? It's funny because it's true.

True.

More reason to think they just don't get what they are doing. That is something I see more than ill intent in life. I know someone that cut the phone line cord to there house phones base because they couldn't find the wireless hand set that was beeping in the middle of the night due to a low battery. BEEP! I mean what did they think that would solve? I was just tring to give someone who dosn't even seem to be on the forum the benefit of doubt and it looks like only Rich could even tell the guy he's blowing it.

Good point. I guess there are people out there that do things I can't understand. I just don't get what someone gains from saying a repeater is theirs when it's not. I just can't wrap my head around that. One of the many mysteries. ?

Wow! That looks like it took some effort to get up there @JohnE, impressive.

Assumicide ? I like that, I’m sure I’ll have a chance to use it myself. I agree with some kind of strict procedural approval idea. I’m not sure how you make it full proof but at least if someone is just grabbing info from an established repeater there was a password or something on that repeater tied to its name, location and tones maybe. At least make it harder to screw up and perhaps a deterrent to outright abuse.

It says he hasn’t logged on in five days… how is he giving approval? Maybe I’m missing something here but can you approve repeater use without logging in? I’m seriously asking, I don’t have any repeaters myself. @Sshannon he’s not a member of the forum but I don’t know that he ever was. How do we know he was banned? He is a member of mygmrs.com though on the map/repeater page. Look I’m not defending the guy (I don’t even know him) but is it possible this is a honest mistake? He hasn’t been on in five days and only had his license 15 days. How do you even send this guy an email from the repeater page to tell him he f’d up other than using the request? I only know how to do that on the forum. I understand being upset that this happens. It seems if you post a repeater as yours you should be able to lock it down as yours. Why is it so easy to change who says they own it? I appreciate the site that @rdunajewski has created here but this seems like an area that could use improvement.

That's pretty bold indeed. Wow, just wow. Some people.

I don't think so, looks like he has only had his license for 14 days.

Welcome @spnz and @WRWM983 to the forum ?

I agree with both @gortex2 and @Sshannon. To use the radio to scan for tones you may have to wait to hear someone accessing the repeater if the repeater sends an ID without tones. I see one near you on the map, no output tone. Open repeater. Check the map. For repeaters near you. Also click the gear in the upper left hand corner and select stale and offline repeaters. Good luck.

Are you sure ? His name is Roger and I hear the owner likes roger beeps… okay I’m just having a bit of fun but seriously this has happened a few times and I wonder if it’s possible that it isn’t intentional and people think they are adding to their own list of favorites? I know if you are paying close attention it’s clear but the page defaults to “my repeaters” instead of “my favorites” and it seems like if @rdunajewski changed the heading of “my repeater” to “repeater’s I own” might make it clearer or at least a default to favorites would make more sense. Just trying to give someone the benefit of the doubt. First time to the site you probably aren’t adding repeaters you own but you are apt to add ones near you. I can’t think of any benefits of saying it’s yours when it’s not.

Oh now you control the discussion? I thought you said it was about making your own 10 codes. so many points Really? Here are listed 10 codes for this area https://www.lospadrescounty.net/et/codes.html I’m starting to think you don’t actually have a point. So what. What is your point?

Will it be available in paperback? YouTube guy six months from now… “today I’ll be reviewing the Wouxun, ocean KG-936G now with both roger and over beep. Over beep. Affiliate link below. It will transmits a beep before you talks and after you talks. But the question everyone wants to know is how many fars will it talks…”?

I went with JAX676 due to the tones

Hi Dave I looked them up on the map, if you select the gear in the upper left corner and turn on stale repeaters they both show up. It is likely the owner needs to just go in and update them. It's been said that the owner just needs to log in and they will update.

I wish I could help on this one... I do think the alternator may be a good place to start but it's puzzling that it would only effect when tones are enabled. ?

I use said flashlight to take the dog out at night ?? ?

On the map page there is a gear icon in the upper left hand corner. Click on it and select stale and offline repeaters. I think you’ll find your repeater there. I’m thinking it’s JAX675 but there are a few near you. ?

Think of tones like a key, the TX on your radio will unlock access to the repeater, the RX on your radio keeps out everything but the repeater (or anything with the same tone). That’s why with no tone set on RX you will hear everything. As I mentioned the tones don’t need to be the same. I hope this helps. Perhaps you can use the map and see where the repeater is and if it’s open or not and what the tones are.

That is most likely the case but they could just as easily have a completely different tone for the the receive on the repeater in which case they would not hear you also. Just because you hear them on one tone doesn’t mean they will hear you with the same tone on your TX.
