A tone is normally sub audible. However what ever you are hearing, nothing is private not even repeaters. An FRS radio is on simplex and you will be able to hear all repeater traffic. Tones are just sub audible keys to unlock the repeater sqwelch. You may be hearing a roger beep or a curtesy tone or a Morse code. WSDL331 and AdmiralCochrane 2 Quote
WRUU653 Posted July 7 Report Posted July 7 FRS radios won’t transmit on repeater input frequencies but they certainly can hear them and their ID tones as the receive frequencies are the same. SteveShannon, amaff and WRHS218 2 1 Quote
