Repeater Channel Question.... Two local repeaters, same frequency, different in/out tones..

[crash3x]

So there's two repeaters in my area that use repeater frequency 462.62500, both repeaters obviously have different input and output tones.

Can I enter the same repeater frequency and specific in/out tones on a different channel to use both repeaters or do I have choose which repeater I want to use at that specific time and enter/change the in/out tones to use the other repeater?  

Hopefully that makes sense, I tried to word it the best I could!  Thanks for any help!

If your radio has programmable DIY channels you should be able to have them both programmed.

Yes you can program each repeater into separate memory channels. Just make sure to get the tones correct for each repeater. I also suggest giving each a unique name so you don't get them mixed up.

Also, if you’re in a location where both repeaters have strong signals, you may get interference. Tones do nothing to prevent interference.

Totally depends on the radio.  How are you programming face or computer cps?   Why not just try it and see how it goes?
