Couple of questions about PTT-ID


Recommended Posts

Because of some troublemakers causing issues on a repeater I had just gotten access to, the group maintaining the repeater is requiring PTT-ID for all users of the repeater, as far as I can tell. They have assigned each member a 4 digit code for the PTT-ID, which will be DTMF or MDC1200.

Is this going to work as a per channel setting on the radios? Or if I set it up, will it transmit the PTT-ID regardless of the channel I'm transmitting on? The radios in question are a Baofeng UV-9G and a Radioddity DB-20G.

My guess is if your radios have the PT-T ID feature it is radio wide feature meaning it will transmit on all channels unless the radio has the ability of programming each channel with a different personality. It is typical of CCRs to have either a single personality configuration or no PT-T feature at all.

I think you should be able to set it up on a per-channel basis. I have a pair of Baofeng UV-82s that I set up with two channels. One channel has PTT-ID, one doesn't. I set them up in CHIRP within the channel settings. I wouldn't be so bold as to say this is how all radios with PTT-ID work, but that's my experience.
