0 SteveShannon Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 From this page: https://www.miklor.com/UV82/UV82-MenuDef.php R-TONE Repeater Tone - Used to activate those repeaters requiring a specific audible tone to be transmitted for access. - Sending tone requires first pressing the PTT, then pressing the [F] key. This is not to be confused with a sub-audible CTCSS or DCS code. WRUU653, Luish19779 and wrtq652 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 KAF6045 Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 Common in the UK and probably much of Europe. Most common tone is 1750. After a period of time, the repeaters basically turn off the transmitter and wait for a wake-up tone to be received before they'll pass traffic. May or may not use CTCSS during traffic...

I recently and successfully programmed in a local repeater I’m fortunate is only 4.6 miles from my home and hadn’t yet wrapped my head around the difference between these repeater tones and the CTCSS or DCS codes. I’m new to the GMRS world and really appreciate the community here sharing their knowledge. SteveShannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
