UncleYoda Posted November 23, 2024 Report Posted November 23, 2024 The channels function independently. The repeater channel has a 5MHz offset programmed in for the transmit frequency. So if both your display channels are set to the same receive frequency, the radio could receive on either one. If the repeater transmits an output tone, you can optionally set a receive tone to know when you're receiving from the repeater. SteveShannon and WRUU653 2 Quote
WSFT900 Posted November 23, 2024 Author Report Posted November 23, 2024 So as long as I have the repeater set with tones ect on the HH and I transmit on simplex 18 the repeater will automatically 'hear' it and will transmit my signal? And does it hurt to have both radios set up exactly with repeaters? (Maybe I am overthinking to much and need to take a break lol) Time for College football asap Quote
UncleYoda Posted November 23, 2024 Report Posted November 23, 2024 If you want to transmit through the repeater, you need to use the repeater channel. Repeater input is on 467MHz. Repeater output and the corresponding simplex channels are on 462MHz. Yes, you are making it hard when it is really simple: use repeater channels for repeaters. Quote

Expand Gotcha, so that means 'both' radios I have have to be set to same repeater channel to communicate with 'each' other (my radios) via the repeater? WRUU653 1 Quote

Expand Yes, and transmitting using the tone (or code) required by the repeater. WSFT900 1 Quote
