And the Travel Tone is 141.3 as I understand it.

A little more correctly stated, the repeater uses a PL tone (CTCSS) of 141.3 (also known as “travel tone”).

Thanks, words have meaning.  I am learning and it all is new to me.  I happened across this thread as I too had no idea what "ORI" on the repeater listings meant.  I also leaned about the "Call/Emergency Channel".

Usually open to all with a callsign and proper use.  CTCSS code 141.3

So possibly a good idea, if traveling and your radio can be setup, have channels 15-22 with the travel tone set.

So as you travel into areas with that option set ont eh repeater, your ready for use.

 

I haev some more programing to do, now.
