WSIK532 Posted yesterday at 03:19 AM Report Posted yesterday at 03:19 AM Here is my findings. I have setup an HT programmed via CHIRP with two different tone settings for this REPEATER: WRPB502 WX4DAB REPEATER 1 set with TSQL 123.0 REPEATER 2 set with TONE 123.0 Second Radio is on GMRS CH15 which is received on REPEATER B clear... but cant transmit back out of REPEATER 2 or 1 to Second Radio.... Any thoughts? Quote

WSAQ296 Posted yesterday at 03:42 PM Report Posted yesterday at 03:42 PM Clarify, because while you understand your original post, I do not. You have two identical radios programmed and one does something the other doesn't? or you have two channels and one doesn't work. Tsquelch means it will only allow you to hear signals with a matching PL tone. So if you're wrong, you'll hear nothing. TONE is transmit, and if it's wrong you won't activate the repeater, but you'll hear it just fine because you have nothing filtering the receive. SteveShannon 1 Quote
WSIK532 Posted yesterday at 05:52 PM Author Report Posted yesterday at 05:52 PM one is setup to hit the repeater, the other one is not. the radio thats setup to hit the repeater i set two channels up based on the info I got from the repeater section of this site. one channel is setup 123.0 using tsquelch , the other channel is set with tone option 123.0. I wanted to see which is correct to get a response from the repeater. i posted a picture of how I programmed the main radio with the setup in my original post. Quote

That’s why I recommend starting with Tone. With TSQL you’ll only hear radios transmitting on that frequencies using that CTCSS tone. Raybestos 1 Quote
