DTCS Code & Rx DTCS Code

[Luish19779]

Hi everyone. 
I just want to know if I have to change this 2 Code from 23? I got some problem when I hit the repeater. 
Thanks

What kind of problems are you having hitting the repeater, and what are the correct codes for the repeater?

[Luish19779]

I hit the repeater, but I not have audio or modulation are really low. I connect my GMRS 9R to chirp and I hit properties and I see all that. The Rx Tone is 85.4 & Tx tone 229.1.

If I have to add something, let me know brother. Thanks for your time.

nice catch with the Fox Hunt..

In your image, you have the RX and TX tones set to 23, so I'm not understanding how you're even hitting it.. 

The only setting that would affect YOUR modulation is the bandwidth, so make sure the radio is set to WIDEBand.

If you are receiving no audio from the repeater, then replacing the incorrect tone of 23 with the correct tone of 84.5 would help so give that a try.

Thanks for the help Randy

Now I have the Rx &Tx Tone, but the question is, the 23 on DTCS & Rx DTCS Tone keep with the 23?

[Photoman5k]

what program are u using to program the radio? nevermind  i just caught you said chirp. Just to verify the Rx tone is 85.4 and the Tx tone is 229.1 correct?

[Photoman5k]

I dont normally program from the properties like that. I programed a channel into my radio using the freq and rx tx code. 

if i open up the memory properties mine looks like this. 

Frequency: 462.625

Name: RPT18

Tone Mode: Cross

Tone: 229.1

ToneSql: 85.4

Tone Mode: Tone->Tone

DTCS Tone: 23

Rx DTCS Tone: 23

DTCS Pol: NN

Duplex: +

Offset: 5.000000

Mode: FM

Skip:

Power: High

I'd be concerned at having a "cross mode" specified, but that may just be how CHIRP shows it.

The key criteria is "Tone Mode". The displayed window (I've never used the "property" page, just edited in line on the spreadsheet layout) shows you have "TONE" selected. That choice means you are SENDING a CTCSS tone, but do not expect one on receive. If you need a receive tone, the mode needs to be TSQL. DTCS entries are ignored. "Tone Mode" of DTCS would mean the DTCS entries are active, and the tone/tonesql entries are ignored.

That looks to be the Tone-Burst setting (menu #40 on my BTech units). I don't know of any GMRS system that requires tone-burst (and don't even know of a US Amateur repeater that uses it).

Tone Burst is common in the UK and likely the rest of Europe on Amateur repeaters (they don't have GMRS services).

To "wake up" a repeater, one has to first send (often using a dedicated button on the radio) a few seconds of the required tone-burst (1750 seemed to be the value used for most UK repeaters). After the repeater is awake, regular PTT activity keeps it alive. After a pause (no PTT) of a few minutes, the repeater goes back to sleep.

On the BTech, the tone-burst is sent using [F]+[PTT]

I hit the repeater, but I got problems with the audio. I try on simple and I don’t have any problems of modulation or audio.

My radio is Baofeng GMRS 9R.

Thats just how chirp does it for some reason, even if it's tone->tone it lists it as cross though strangely not always. not sure why either.

thank you very much for your help. my question is, is that the correct way to configure a gmrs repeater? Those tones are from the repeater.
