404 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Can anyone near Yuma Az or Imperial county hit the unused 462.650 machine that has 79.7 in and 85.4 out ? I stumbled across it never hear any one hailing on it sits dormant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case they advertised the wrong output tone, try listening on 462.650 MHz with no receive tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
404 Posted November 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Well if I know the input and output tones one would think I know what I'm doing. Wondering if anyone besides me can hit it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if anyone besides me can hit it? If you clear out the receive tone you’ll hear everything on the receive frequency. Then, if the repeater is in use, you’ll know for sure if anyone besides you can hit it, assuming that you’re in range. WRXB215 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRWE456 Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 When people are new to the forum there is often an assumption that they are new to radio. Seems to be the case most of the time. But as in your case not always. Welcome to the forum 404! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you feel that my suggestions were somehow insulting. They weren’t intended to be and I’m unsure why you would take them that way.

gortex2 Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I have repeaters that sit dormant 6 months out of the year. Is there a reason it should be talking ? Mine are all closed so unless I'm on it or one of my friends its quiet. WRUU653 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
