0 WRAK968 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Go to one of the repeater channels, select the proper access codes and you should be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wayoverthere Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I recently purchased this mobil device and need some help programming repeaters.Can anyone walk me through it? if you don't have it, the manual is here: https://midlandusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/MXT275-Owners-Manual.pdfout of the box, you probably have to enable the repeater channels in the menu (look for option 'rp' and set it to 'on'). next, pick the repeater you want to access, note the frequency and tone, and figure out which channel it equates to. (pg 27 has a chart of channel to frequencies). switch to that channel, then back into the menu, and you have to set the tones. page 28 has the code charts; see what code the tone equates to, and set it in the menu. from there, you should be set on the basics. kipandlee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRJZ943 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 I've enabled the repeater channels and setup a couple area repeaters, but noticed the repeater channels aren't scanned when using channel scan function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 wayoverthere Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Realistically, if you don't have pl tones input on the simplex (15-22) channels, you'll hear any traffic coming from the repeaters as well, since the receive side of the repeater channels 15-22 is the same as their simplex counterpart. Not exactly convenient to respond to something on that repeater, I admit, since when you come off scan it goes to whatever you were on prior to scanning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MXT90 allows me to remove or add back channels to the scan. If I only want 15,19, 21 and 22 to scan I can remove all other channels and only scan those 4. I expected that ability on the newer midland micros but unfortunately that's not possible. I contact Midland and they suggested the pl tones work around for the 275. They also indicated I could do what I want on my MXT400, but that required software. I'm waiting to hear back from them on how to obtain the software.
