Pretty sure he means that he has the frequency and tone correct.

That’s how I took it also.  He has the repeater programmed into his radio and has been able to use it.

Oh ok.  I don’t wonder what people say I take words for what they mean not what they meant to say.  Talking on a repeater is not being linked to a repeater

WSHJ950, nice job. Most of us knew what you meant. Learning how to use repeaters with their radios is a stumbling block a lot of new users encounter. So I am glad things seem to be working out for you.

Setup the radio for the Bartow repeater (462.725 141.3 tone). Easy to reach from Lakeland even with a HT and is one of the more dominate repeaters in the area. On Tuesday nights at 7:00 there is a net you are welcome to check into with around 30-35 folks checking in a week. Have fun!
