HELP NEEDED HERE..... THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE Does the list have DPL 523? This thread suggests 523 with the "invert" option checked can take the place of normal DPL 246. https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/inverted-cdcss-dpl-conversion-chart.8261/ Edited March 23, 2023 by wayoverthere fix typo SteveShannon and WRUU653 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliewreq466 Posted March 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Hi There: Thanks for the fast reply but it doesn't have the 523 value..... Also I tried to erase the value on the DPL tone box and write the new value manually but it doesn't erase. it stays blue then I click the Backspace key and don't erase....

SteveShannon Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Unfortunately, not all radios have all digital codes. DPL 246 is not standard to Motorola. This page shows some others.: https://www.repeater-builder.com/tech-info/pl+dpl/pl+dpl.html Charliewreq466, WRUU653 and wayoverthere 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayoverthere Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 With neither 246 or 523 being on the list... I'd be tempted to take a shot in the dark and try 245 and 532 inverted, just to see if there may be a typo in the repeater info. (Kind of a long shot, I know) Charliewreq466 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axorlov Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 +246, +542, +653, -523, -647, -726 all are the same code. But it's unlikely Motorola will have any of them.

It was a long but very detailed explanation of DCS codes. I’ll have to print it to a PDF file and save it in my electronic document library.

axorlov Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 For some reason the original link (https://www.onfreq.com/syntorx/dcs.html) does not work, great thing we have Wayback Machine! Charliewreq466 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
