ULTRA2 Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 Just wondering if Inverted tones can be used on GMRS? Do you recommend it being used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OffRoaderX Posted June 12 Report Share Posted June 12 If you are referring to inverted DCS/DTC/DPL tones, then, yes - they are standard on virtually all GMRS radios. If you mean something else, then, i dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is: if you can program inverted, you can use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULTRA2 Posted June 12 Author Report Share Posted June 12 Another question I want to ask everyone is that if you own a repeater can the repeater be programmed to use inverted tones also? I got a project going on and I want to make sure i'm doing it right so that's why I'm asking the expert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"can it?" - Depends on the repeater "may it?" - yes, it is allowed by the GMRS rules. AFAIK, there are no rules/guidelines on what tones you can or cannot use, but there are standard ones, which inverted tones are. Further, there is no advantage (none that matters in the real world, for most people) to using inverted versus normal vs DTC vs CTC ..

WRYS709 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Digital tones are, like all digital media, represented ultimately by 0s and 1s. An "inverted" digital tone, is the same tone, with 0s switched to 1s and 1s switched to 0s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
