Retevis RB27 Programming help!


Question

Posted

New to GMRS and I am trying to connect to my local repeater station but I don't understand how using my RB27. The instruction manual does not include anything on it and the Retevis website doesn't have a section on doing it for my radio. My radio has 6-7 dedicated repeater channels. Thanks!

The process is pretty much the same on any GMRS radio.

Pick the right repeater frequency pair.  There are only eight to choose from and for off the shelf radios they are programmed into your radio.  If you’re on one of the preprogrammed pairs with no receive tone you should be able to hear the repeater, if there is any traffic.  A lot of the time there is no traffic.

Pick the right CTCSS or DTCSS transmit tone or code. Leave the receive frequency unset until you you know you’re hitting the repeater.

Push the PTT button, give your call sign and ask if anyone can hear you.

I would imagine yuur radio has the standard 8 repeater channels.  However if this is the radio I think it is you must program in a computer since it has no key pad.
