Midland MXT400 & Repeaters?


Recommended Posts

I only have a single repeater nearby that operates on 462.575 DPL 156

 

I've seen "complaints" about the Midland MXT400 saying it has limitations for use with repeaters. Some reviews say all 8 channels are all on or all off, or that it takes only a single code per channel. I'm not sure what they mean... Are repeater frequencies/codes "pre-set" or can one program them?

 

With the MTX400 work with my in-range repeater?

 

Thanks!

Some repeaters use a different tone for receive and transmit. Your MXT400 (as well as every other Midland GMRS radio) can only use the same code/tone on BOTH transmit and receieve. 

 

On the listing for the repeater do you see:

 

462.575  DPL156

467.575  DPL156

 

Or do you see a different code/tone for each of the frequencies? Idf it is the same you can access that repeater. If they are different you are out of luck. At least with your Midland.
