JamesBrox Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Hey guys. Question. I'm hitting a repeater in the region, a little distant.....but I'm hearing the "Kerchunk". Anyways...I've talked to folks, no problem but sometimes after calling out. I see the RX signal bounce up...like someone's trying to response but no sound. Is that a problem on their end or mine? Thx WRXU693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be that the repeater is identifying itself, possibly with Morse code even, and that it’s programmed to do so without CTCSS. If you remove the CTCSS (or DCS) Code on your end you might be able to hear what it is. WRUU653 and JamesBrox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
