Anyone know anything about the location, owner or PL tone on the LA ECHO1 W40 repeater in California on GMRS 22 462.725?

Well a double post doesn’t get more answers.   As for La echo  1, nope. It’s a massive huge foot print. I can hear it all over LA and the IE, up into in Santa Clarita, Ventura, antelope Valley, parts of San Diego, victor valley and in Barstow. It’s probably on mt Wilson and must be atleast 200w with a huge antenna. I have never heard anyone on it in years. Just the stupid auto ID every 5 minutes.  It’s so big that if people had the tones it would be useless with 100s or 1000s of people jibber jabbing on it all day.

Listening with no RX tones will allow you to hear traffic. The call sign will tell you the licensee and their mailing address so you can send a snail mail request. What’s the call sign?

if its the Repeater with Auto Voice ID announcing the wrong time and date, I believe it sits on a hillside north of Pasadena. It seems to be a unattended repeater,  i often wondered if the guy died or something

I think I have that programmed in my HT but never use it... Haven't checked it in a long time but I thought it was one that (when it does have traffic) was primarily spansh speakers (which I am not) so it was not of much interest to me. (or maybe I am thinking of a different repeater? - not sure)
