WRYI436 Posted August 28, 2023 Report Share Posted August 28, 2023 I am some what new to GMRS but not to functionality of radios, We have a Repeater here in GR and can't seem to hit this thing, I even drove up to within .3 miles of the thing to no avail not even chirp out of this thing. It's on Ch R26 462.625 and using 94.8 tone/ctc and I have tried 3 different radio's. Ether it's not working/down or just not there. Anyone out there in the GR area have any idea about the workings of this repeater please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a tone set for receive or are you listening with no tone? Listening with no tone will allow you to hear the repeater and anything else transmitted on the 462.625 frequency.

I would monitor 462.625 with no tones to see if you hear anything at all. Maybe it isn’t operational. I doubt that it’s simplex, but I guess it’s not impossible. If you hear someone, try transmitting on 467.625 with TX tones set only to see if they hear you. If you have two radios have a relative or friend listen on one from a distance to see if they hear you on 462.625 when you transmit to the repeater on 467.625 with TX tone set.

One4Real54 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 It could very well be nobody is using it. I've got one on .625 as well in my area. It's not open, and I've requested to tones from the owner, but no luck. Not only that, but I haven't heard anyone using it either. The only activity I have heard on it is someone keyed their mike once, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
