Question

Posted

I've read the thread and followed the suggested steps, however I have two radios so I know if Tx is working and still the only Rx and short blip of Rx is the tail.  I'm hoping someone can check my math and tell me how badly I botched the programming.  I've read to keep the Rx Tone off.  My desire is- find a repeater where I am or where I may travel and be able to program it in.  Here are screenshots of a repeater in my area and how I programmed them on Channel 26 and it isn't working.  Thanks for any input!

Im not familiar with your CPS but looks like (based on your Provo UT repeater display) you need to set ch 26 for 131.8 PL  to your 462.625. (input and output) your ch 27 is running no PL tones meaning the repeater would have to be running no PL tones.

I don’t see anything wrong with that. You’re transmitting on one radio on channel 26 and listening on the other radio on channel 26.  
How near to each other physically are the two radios? You might be desensing one while transmitting on the other that’s close to it and that might be why you don’t hear yourself.  It sounds like you hear the repeater’s squelch tail. Do you ever hear anyone else on the repeater?

Are you asking for anyone to give you a radio check? Try giving one of the radios to a friend who’s a house away and have them listen for you.

Wow, I feel mental after putting them 100' apart and it worked.  I figured I had really messed something up.  I guess the repeater channels just need distance.  Thanks for the advice!
