TD-H3 How do I program a DPL input/output tone.. Is this correct?


crash3x

Question

Semi newbie needing help.. Open repeater in my area.. I'm trying to program my TD-H3 with a DPL243 input and output tone. I don't want to key up and test it unless I have it set up properly. Also, it doesn't note if it's plus or minus, should I assume it's Plus? To add, yes I'm in range of the repeater and yes I was told it is still active. I never added a DPL only CTCSS .Does this look correct? These are the fields I entered in CHIRP. Please see attachment. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • For comparison you could look at one of the pre-programmed repeater channels 23-30
  • You could key up and if you have it wrong it wont matter/wont hurt anything
  • On a GMRS repeater if the frequency given is 462.xx then it will always be +5
  • It looks like you haven't added the recieve-tone, but that is optional anyway, and for a beginner/to reduce potential mistakes i would not bother with it yet

It all looks right but the only way to know for sure is to try it.. and remember, if it's not right, it doesn't matter/nothing is going to break/no airplanes will drop from the sky.

At the bottom of the listing it has this note - not sure if it matters here but for that repeater it says:

 

" For all to enjoy. Have Fun and Be Respectful We will be adding Traveler Tones (141.3) "

 

Make a duplicate channel and try it with those tones.  Won't hurt to try.

So, I gave it a shot, as programed in my attachment above from chirp, I key up and it opens the repeater, I call for a radio check and it seems like I'm getting a response per my meter/receive light but I can't here the response/any traffic.

To rule out the no traffic on said frequency, I put my other H3 in frequency mode, punched in the frequency 462.xxxxx and I can hear traffic loud & clear. 

To be able to communicate rather than just listen, I know my Rx is blank in chirp as one pointed out so I figured that was the issue, but when I go into chirp and try to enter the 243DPL in Rx DTCS, it won't take. Any thoughts? Any suggestions or reconfigurations I can try? Am I missing/overlooking another setting?

I'd really like to figure this out as it's one of the very few repeaters in my area I can clearly hit. Once again, many thanks for any help/info!! 

This is the info from my gmrs I'm trying to get set up properly..
