The only thing that changes for a repeater is *your* transmit frequency (IE: the frequency the repeater is listening on). But it's re-transmitting on your receive frequency. If you don't want to hear 'em, you can put a Rx CTS or DCS tone on your radio on those channels (same way if you have a repeater programmed on one of those channels, you won't hear simplex traffic on that channel unless they are using the same tone as the repeater) SteveShannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX won't matter on a simplex channel (unless you're trying to talk to someone who's listening for that tone). But yes, unless they're transmitting the tone you put on the RX side, your radio just won't open the speaker, essentially. You can look at it and see that it's receiving, but it won't make it through the radio to the speaker. WSCU736 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
