Ok, I'll give that a try. It does seem in the CPS that the repeater ID should go in that box but I'll try the talkgroup ID and see if it works. Did everything else look ok other than that. 

I think so.  Of course this is a radio I haven't programmed before, so it's entirely possible I'm missing something, but for 3104 you have the correct Time Slot.  For the repeater you have the correct Color Code and for the repeater you have the right frequency.  

I don't have the repeater DMR IDs programmed in any of my code plugs except maybe in a field in OpenGD77. Like I said, it's counter-intuitive.  You're connecting through the repeater, not to it.

I did find something else that looks like a mistake.  In the Notes for the repeater it says the ID is 313402, but in the actual live data down below it says it is 310402 and that's a live link to RadioID that looks correct.  I think the Notes section in RepeaterBook is incorrect where it says 313402.  All of the AZ DMR IDs start with 3104...

313402 is a repeater in New Jersey if you look it up: https://radioid.net/database/view/dmr/repeater?id=313402

This is the one in AZ: https://radioid.net/database/view/dmr/repeater?id=313402

I downloaded a codeplug from Miklor for the RT-4D and compared it to my codeplug. I made some adjustments to my codeplug and I still can't reach the repeater. When I keyed the HT next to my desktop computer I heard something like it WAS sending out a signal but I just don't think these little radios are powerful enough to make the 16 miles to the repeater in digital. In Analog yes, they reach it. I guess I need to do a power test on the radio and compare analog to digital and that would also confirm that a signal was getting out in digital mode.
