Hello,
I have been a lurker for quite some time, but now have just joined. Thank you for all the info so far, I greatly appreciate it.
I just bought a new Kenwood TM-281A.
I'm attempting to store an odd-split repeater tx / rx frequency. This repeater has different TX and RX PL tones.
1. Is there a way to store the separate PL tones for each TX and RX frequency to memory?
2. Is there a way to program those specific memory channels to default to automatically default to "tone on" when you select that memory channel?
3. If it is not possible to store separate PL tones, can you default the RX to be open, and only transmit a PL tone with the TX frequency?
Right now, I can get it to work, but each time I change memory channels, or stop scanning, and go to my repeater frequency, I have to first turn the tone "on" and then select the tone frequency. I have to do this each time I tune to that memory channel... It is frustrating me.
I can't imagine that you can't store those PL tones, and have it default to "tone on" when you select that memory channel, but I haven't figured it out yet. The manual doesn't specifically say whether you can do this or not.
I appreciate any help that you can give me.
Thank you very much,
MK
