TK-280 how to program in 2M freq

[snappereater]

Been a long time lurker here and recently purchased some TK-280 VHF and been experimenting with the hobby. I was able to create MURS, WX and 2m simplex, but when trying to do a repeater setup, couldnt get it to work. I think I was able to hear on another radio the repeater tail, but in the HT, nothing. Tried machines that were closer too and no luck.

I entered the RX, TX, Tone etc.... Am I missing a setup that was done wrong/or none at all?

Make sure you have the RX frequency and the TX frequency correct and in the right places. Usually the ham repeater frequency guides show the frequency your TK-280 should receive on. That would go in the receive frequency place.
For the TX frequency, make sure you use the correct offset and direction. Depending on the section of the 2 meter band, it'll either be +600KHz or -600KHz.

For the Tone, only enter it in the TX field. Leave the RX tone field set for Carrier Squelch.

appreciate the feedback, went through settings and all was good to go. Issue was a bad antenna and ended up finding one that worked.
