WRPQ991 Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 Ok, when listening to repeaters I have to push the MONI (monitor) button to hear people, but it gives me an ear full of static. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried adjusting squelch, doesn't help. I'm using it as a base, not mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socalgmrs Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 By hitting the monitor you’re allowing all traffic in at full squelch off. If you’re not hearing the repeater with out this your tones are probably wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have the RX tone wrong that might be why you cant hear them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRPQ991 Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 They are set right, I double checked.. a few times. they come in kinda fuzzy. But clear with the MONI button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s up too high? It shouldn’t be an issue since you have tones but take a look anyway. Might not be actual repeater traffic your hearing when you push the monitor button? Might just be local simplex or another repeater? The actual repeater you’re trying to reach may be too far away? How far away is the repeater? Does your antenna have line of sight?
