OffRoaderX Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Its very easy: Read manual Identify what Repeater channel your local repeater is on Change radio to the correct repeater channel Enter the correct TX (transmit) CTC or DTC tone for the repeater and save (for questions, refer to item #1) do not concern yourself with the RX/Receive tone until you level-up to "I know what I'm doing now" Hold radio near your noise output hole, & push the talk trigger and talk, then take your finger off the trigger Hold radio near your noise input hole and wait for everyone to congratulate you on a job well-done WRPG745 and Sshannon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeaters transmit on 462.xxx but receive on 467.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRWE456 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 True GMRS radios have the offset programed in on the built in repeater channels from the factory. Just follow Randy's instructions above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
