Just got my license and have two Wouxum KG-905G. I do not have a windows cpu but instead a Mac. So a few general questions: my local repeater (13 miles away on a 100 ft tower) just gave me access to their system and sent a welcome email with a single tone frequency for me to use after joining. Is this tone for my TX CTCSS only or for both transmit and receive tones? How do I know if my access to the repeater is working? I presume when I choose the repeater channel and input the tone - then I am limited to only use that repeater until I can figure out how to program additional channels as the KG-905G has only one tone to enter from the menu. Many thanks for any help as I try to get access to the repeater. Mark 1. It's needed for transmit. You can always leave the tone for receive blank. 2. You might hear a courtesy beep from the repeater right after you cease transmitting, or even an occasional ID. The best way is to ask someone for a radio check. Or give your second radio to someone and have them go a little ways away and listen. 3. Your presumption is correct. Welcome to the forum. Raybestos 1 Quote
