I am using a Midland MXT400 radio. I have the repeater channels turned on. I set the tone for a local open repeater.

I have not heard any traffic on the repeater.I can hear some FRS traffic from some local business.How do i know if I am receiving anything from the repeater?

Here's a link to an SWR/Power meter that will help you test your antenna https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dmn-sx40c

 

The less reflected power you have the better...

 

Good Luck,

Hello!  The radio I was using had a static antenna. If only I knew then what I know now. Which isn't much.  HAHA
