WRYG716 Posted August 11 Author Report Share Posted August 11 So this is strange repeater is programmed to 462.675 I have a handheld that can scan for frequencies when I key up repeater it’s showing 440.002 I type that into radio with 77 pl and I hit the repeater and get a clear tone. What could be causing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t hit it on the right frequency. No rx or tx only on that 440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkInTampa Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 If I had to guess, you have the wrong version of the repeater for GMRS or the frequency limits are set incorrectly. Try binging up the software in manufacture mode with the "-m" option instead of "-d" and read the radio configuration. The Windows shortcut target should be something like "C:\Vertex Standard\CE27 for Windows\CE27Win.exe" -m". The -m option will require the manufacture password, it is "ansho-bango". Once you read the config of the radio, go to "Common" on the top of the screen and then "TX Adjustment". Be VERY careful here and don't adjust anything, check to see what the highest Tx Frequency is set at. If it's below GMRS frequencies it's probably the wrong version of the repeater.

MarkInTampa Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Since you can receive the repeater at 440.000 but the CPS shows 462.675, what happens if you add a channel on 439.xxx and another on 441.xxx just for testing? Does the repeater transmit on the programmed frequency then (440 being a upper limit maybe)? Weird problem, can't think of anything else.

OffRoaderX Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Maybe you should take it back to the guy you got it from and tell him you want one that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
