Inverted tones

[ULTRA2]

Just wondering if Inverted tones can be used on GMRS? Do you recommend it being used?

Dunno, but Mav got inverted once and saw a MiG close up.

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.

My understanding is:  if you can program inverted, you can use them.

Thanks for that info. I was not sure if you could

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

• "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 ..

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.

Thanks, guys, for all the useful information.
