0 WRAK968 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I appreciate the reply but I don't understand what you're trying to say.You should have RX CTCSS and TX CTCSS, you said your R-CTCS is set to 141.3 Check that the T-CTCS is 141.3 as well (This is the more important code as the repeater looks for this) As for SFT, check it is set for 1 which allows the radio to switch to the 467 frequency when you key up.
