Randallm6 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Ok...I am new at this ...I have a 25 watt mobile unit in my vehicle with proper antenna attached. I am in an area where a great repeater is available. However, when within only a 5 or 6 mile distance from that repeater I can only receive a short signal burst from others who are on the same freq/code. I think thy can receive me ok because they attempt to respond. But, as I say the response is only a short signal burst and no voice. I am well within that repeaters range....proper repeater channel and codes set accordingly. What is going on? Why can I not hear the voice response?

OffRoaderX Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Hard to tell for sure what is going on... Have you confirmed if the radio works properly on simplex/direct radio to radio? and.. maybe try removing the RX/DEcode tone to see if that makes any difference?

Randallm6 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 yes works works fine in simplex mode radio to radio....will try removing the RX code BTW ....it was your YouTube GMRS channel that got me into this mess in the first place LOL OffRoaderX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randallm6 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 ....just asking ..why would I delete the RX code when the open repeater calls for it....i.e. 141.3 input and output. Why would that help? Would disabling Tail setting help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OffRoaderX Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 My solution would be to send it back and tell them to send me one that works. PRadio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
