Make sure you are talking in repeater mode and not direct, check the frequencies and the act as tones.

Also make sure the info is right.

I'd also check the frequencies as .3175 doesn't sound correct to me. Maybe .3125?

Are you using MDC? Make sure that your MDC settings are the same as the console or repeater is set up, or that could give issues.

First off, let’s ensure that your PL/DPL code are correct as well as your frequency.

Once that’s out of the way, disable MDC unless your agency/department uses it. Otherwise, it’s really just a senseless data/id burst. Sounds like you have the channel checked off as a constant talk-about frequency. I believe this can be disabled under zone channel assignment, scrolling all the way to the right. If you want to be able to use the frequency on TA, enable a button to turn TA on and off on any frequency. That’s the best bet

ok let me try now

Are you sure you are in range of the repeater?

Other issue that sometimes happens...
If the radio is out of alignment and the PL deviation is too low, it won't trigger the repeater.

So, what's the history of this radio? Did you buy it used? Has it been checked out by a competent technician? Where are you getting your programming info from?

 

[rich1125]

e bay , yes used yes he said alignment was checked by a moto dealer also but cant figure it out.

Are you trying to listen to the repeater with another portable close by? When you un-key do you hear the repeater transmitting?

OK.
"he said", is different than "he did". Not saying you were cheated, but don't assume it's good.

Also,
Where are you getting the programming info from? Hopefully from your agency's radio shop, right?

 

[rich1125]

no portable close by when i unkey i hear nothing, strange done these before cant get where i went wrong.

OK, so are you using the same programming file that you used on the other ones?

 

[rich1125]

yes

 

[mmckenna]

Yes what?

 

[kjl13]

yes

That is strange, could be the radio then. Or you are just out of range, how close are you to the site?
