Even though I have made several "How to use a GMRS repeater" videos, in this video I explain connecting to a GMRS repeater in even more simple terms. You might even say this video is "how to use a GMRS repeater for dummies".. I would not say that, but "some people" might. So I show you step by step how to find the correct GMRS repeater channel and how to enter the tones to use the repeater.

Hi Randy. I’m new to GMRS and thanks to your videos I’ve obtain my GMRS license and now thanks to this videos I was able to program my Beofang Gm-5RH to my local repeater using the DCS tones. However I want to use two radios to transmit and received using this repeater. I’m only able to transmit to the repeater but not able to hear the conversation through my other radio that I programmed using the same dcts tones. How do I get the two radios to transmit and received through repeater? I’ve done a radio check through both radios and the repeater owner confirms my radio check. However I can only hear the respond of the repeater owner on both radios but not my initial call from one radio to the other. Man I hope I don’t sound stupid. Anyways really appreciate if you can help me out. Thanks

Question on my 905G, menu #15 TX-DTC. When opened it displays "off" while the next line has a limited selection of options for TX tones. At least is does not have the 662 DPL input tone indicated by a nearby repeater that uses 462.650 MHz frequency. Does this mean I need to get the programming cable and software? TIA!

Question. How do you disable the global tx function on uv5r using the odmaster app? I only have blue tooth programmer and not the laptop connector. Have looked at app and laptop thru app and no where does it show "duplex" to disable. Until i get my licenses, yes i said licenses (ham n gmrs) i would like to use as a scanner. Thanks

You have to choose the correct tone from the list. Sometimes thats the first one to pop up, usually it isn't.

@motodad1753 Месяц назад

Good morning sir, I'm a total newb to radio and GMRS. The problem I'm encountering occurs when I tune into GMRS channel 24. 575/16R [462.575000/+5.000]. My issue is I can receive transmission but I can't transmit. Where can I locate the tones needed to access said repeater on channel 24? I went onto RepeaterBook and located a repeater about 10 miles away I assume thats the one I'm hearing on channel24? But on Repeaterbook there are no tones associated with this repeater. Do I have to try to contact the owner? I even used another radio with Scan feature, it picked up the frequency but no tone was picked up. It said "NONE" under the frequency. Sorry for the stupid question and if I'm not asking it right. {EDIT} I'm using a BOOF WHANG UV-5G PLUS

Good day. I have a question. I am new to this GMRS world. I programed a repeater in my BETECH GMRS PRO. I have a radio uniden radio scanner that I monitor on. I programed REPT15 462.5500 with a tone 141.3. When I press to test the repeater on the GMRS radio, even though I may be out of range, I have the uniden scanner reacting to the test each time. It's usually a non-GMRS repeater Freq shows up on the scanner. Can you explain what this may mean?

@TheNotaRubicon 2 месяца назад

You are transmitting on the repeater INPUT frequency which would be 467.5500. This is how it is supposed to work.

Does that mean that if you in range of a repeater and using the corresponding simplex channel, you’ll hear repeater activity, but obviously won’t be able to talk because your not using the repeater mode with the correct tone? If so, how many simplex channels does that use up then?

I have an issue when trying to program in my nearest repeater on my Btech Pro. I have set a group for local repeaters then tried to add the closest one. No problem adding it's transmit frequency but it's receive frequency is 446.575. I can't enter that no. because the Pro asks for the GMSR channel, however that frequency seems to be out of the range of GMSR channels.

@TheNotaRubicon 2 месяца назад

Yah, thats not a GMRS frequency.. either it's a typo, and it should be 462.575, or, you're not going to be able to use it.

When I look up the input tone for a repeater nearby, it tells me the input is 136.5 hz. How do I find the input tone that you're referencing either c or d letters? Thanks you for your time. I am very much a rookie on GMRS.

@TheNotaRubicon 3 месяца назад

The default is usually CTCSS, but because there are no shared tones between CTCSS and DTC/DPL you will only find 136.5 listed under EITHER your CTCSS menu in your radio OR DTC/DPL tones in your menu - so just look through both until you find 136.5 (hint, it's a "C")

Hey Randy - I'm a moron, and even I can understand your videos. Thank you. Even so, being a moron and after watching the repeater video you posted two months prior to this one, I still have a question. In my area, some of the repeaters do not specify either D or C tones for TX or RX. Instead, they just specify Hz (i.e. 141.3Hz). I noticed that one of the D tones is 141.3 Hz - is that the same thing? Has the repeater owner just not specified the tone as a D or C tone? You might be asking yourself "Why doesn't this moron just try the D tone and see if it works instead of wasting my time asking this stupid question?" The answer is that I'm not lucky enough to actually be in range of a repeater. I'm trying to learn how to program repeaters for when I travel, so I'm trying to figure out the nomenclature to be able to program a repeater when I'm actually in range of one. Thanks again for making great videos!

@TheNotaRubicon 2 месяца назад

When you go through your list of CTCSS and DCS tones on your radio, you will only find the number (ie; 67) on ONE of those lists.. So just look through both lists until you find the number.
