WSAH394 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Hello, my new call is Wsah394 I have permission for a local repeater with tones and codes. They hear me kurchuck the repeater but with no audio. My base station has 50 watts. I posted this issue on a GMRS Facbook group with 40 comments, however the error has not been corrected. I'm looking for any ideas that may help. Thanks for your attention and assistance. Frank WSAH394 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRXB215 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 @WSAH394 Your post is a little confusing. By definition "kerchunking" means keying without saying anything. Are you saying that you are "activating" the repeater and speaking with no audio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffRoaderX Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 So, just for deconfuckulation porpoises: You pull the talk-trigger and you speak into the microphone, but nobody is hearing what you say on the repeater, even though you are hitting the repeater and getting the kerchunk? If that is what you are saying, can people hear you on simplex? If that is not what you are saying, then please try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion, I have confirmed that I have no transmit audio on my base station radio even on GMRS simplex. Now I am really at a loss.

Sshannon Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 We had a guy who was trying to transmit to our repeater. We could hear him activate the repeater because his radio was set up with a Roger beep but no voice. In his case his external microphone jack contacts had failed open. With an external mike we hear him but trying to use the internal mike means no audio. We had another guy whom we could barely hear. In his case the single hole in his microphone was plugged with something. WRXB215 and WRUU653 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, knowing that will help someone here evaluate the problem. WRXB215 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
