To set up the Inland Empire "Ranchino" repeater, start on Repeater 17/Channel 25 and enter the DTC TX tone 023. For a pro, this should take about 15 seconds to set up right on the keypad, no computer or cables needed.. For your first time, set aside at least an hour.

Unfortunately there are only REPTR #s 1 to 8 CH 25 on this one is REPTR3 - according to the Appendix that equates to 462.600 Is that correct so far?

DarrylLicht Posted September 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 DTC TX tone is set to 023. The silence is deafening. On what peak is this repeater in RC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffRoaderX Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Its on Haven Peak.. step outside and look north, unless you are north of Hillside, then just look toward haven.

OffRoaderX Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Than you are either not in range (try outside) or you dont have the right tone.. DTC/DCS/DPL: D023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRYS709 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 I wanted to buy a UV-5R GMRS just to play with. i just didn’t want to buy two! Use the refund on the DigiRig to buy a genuine Nagoya 771G antenna with the proper SMA for that radio, to improve your range.

Musta been OffRoaderX then as he was active online at that time. I wanted two for camping and hiking with the wife n grandkids. We had an "incident" several years ago in J-tree, (kids went climbing and exploring, we all got separated I found kids and the wife didn't show up for several more hours). Lesson learned and I wanted a way to keep in touch and teach the GKs. Plus I am wanting to start going out on 4x4 group drives and they usually require a GMRS radio (scored a midland MTX275 for the truck). Hell the 2 for the $44 special with all the accessories felt like a cheap investment. Adding the antenna, extended batts, and the programming cable I'm still well under $200 total. I'm no techno-phobe, taught Computer Science, PC repair, data communications, networking, etc for over 20 years. I just might not be as quick to pick up as when i was 20... or 30... or 40! Getting old sucks, but it sure beats the alternative! BUT I WILL PICK THIS UP! Again, I want to thank you all for the wonderful help and support today. Tomorrow I will be in NFL mode, but I'll check in here. WRYS709 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you werent aware - anyone that runs into me while off-roading (IN the dirt, not on the streets!) gets a free GMRS radio! (while supplies last). Just find me most saturdays anywhere between Anza Borrego and Randsburg, and unless I've already given away that days radio(s), you'll get one (IF you need one) WRYS709, WRUU653, WRYZ927 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrylLicht Posted September 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Q - Once I have entered the right DTC/DCS/DPL tone of: D023 for this repeater, does it remain in memory after I turn the unit off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
