WSDS892 Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 If there is repeater local to me would I be able to hear someone transmitting if I was tuned to that frequency without having programmed in dpl/ctss or any of the other stuff I haven't wrapped my head around yet?

Socalgmrs Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Yes. The tone only keep LS others from transmitting into the repeater. Tones or not you will here it all on simplex. Nothing is private WRXR255, GP62 and TrikeRadio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Tones are filters that filter out everything not on that tone, so if you want to receive everything coming from a repeater just don't set any receive tone and you will filter out nothing. kirk5056, GP62 and SteveShannon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I understand tone codes to transmit to open the repeater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
