I don't know anything about the Midland MXT275. However, I guess it was wrong to assume that radio couldn't do split tones or leave receive off. I still waiting for ICOM, KENWOOD, MOTOROLA AND VERTEX STANDARD to unvail their GMRS Radios. Don't get me wrong, Midland has a great history with two way radios, but I like using Motorolas.

This was a concern of mine as well. I feel like it can certainly perform this function however it’s just not black and white (obvious to me)

@wrtq652thank you for the incredible amount of information. I’m tracking for the most part in the basics of which you are highlighting.  At least I believe I am. Lol. As far as the +5 it seems like I don’t need to mess with that as it’s automatically tx and receiving on the different mhz.

Hey all.  Completely new to GMRS.  Just got the MXT275 w 6Db antenna; Vehicle Mounted.

I have been hearing incredibly clear traffic on 15rp, but i do not believe my settings are correct to TX for a successful contact.  I have went through my user manual to try and understand the CTCSS codes or any other possible options i would need to adjust.  It's my understanding (although potentially wrong) that the pre programmed repeater channels pre determine the freq. so im thinking its privacy codes?  Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated.  I know this is a "world" of very experienced folks and im just looking for a little mentorship
