repeater

Good Afternoon, Does anyone know of any companies in NC, specifically around Wilmington, that lease time slots on DMR repeaters? If so would somebody be able to provide the name of companies that provide this sort of service. I've done a lot of research on this but have been unable to identify...

I am new to GMRS, looking to access local repeaters. When it comes to CTCSS tones, I am a bit confused. I see some repeater listings with a single CTCSS tone. Other listings have TX-CTCSS and RX-CTCSS tones (both the same). When programming CTCSS tones to a channel/frequency to access a...

Hi guys, I'm looking at a UHF quantar repeater here (model T5365A), and I'm wondering what programming software is used and if it's possible to purchase a copy of it from somewhere. To be clear, this is not a "I want a free/cracked cps" request. Anybody have any ideas? Should I maybe just stay...

Hello all! I have returned to seek expertise on a project I am creating. Task: Create a simplex repeater for search and rescue operations using a mobile radio. I am trying to find a way to boost coverage of team communications in a remote area. I currently have a 25w AnyTone AT-778UV which I...

I am trying to program my Daniels / Codan VR-4R modules and I don’t have the correct programming cable. I believe it is a USB cable that interfaces with an RJ45 connection. I have looked hi and low all over the internet and haven’t been able to locate one. Does anyone know of where there might...

I'm building a portable repeater setup for my RV to extend the range of my family's GMRS handhelds. What type of flexible coax would y'all recommend that would withstand the repeated up-and-down of the mast and antenna yet not cause PIM issues from the dissimilar metals in the foil and braid...

A local ham created this very informative video. The only thing I would add/emphasize is that amateur radio repeaters, while most are open for general amateur use, are in fact, private property of others. The owners may be a club, organization, government entity, or private individuals. In all...

I used it in August but I cannot access it today. Tried on Firefox, Edge and my phone's browser. Yes, I checked my firewalls. The web says there are no issues with their url. Trying to map repeaters along a route for an upcoming trip that I'll program via RT Systems. TM-V71A.

Hey everyone, I just bought a Wouxun KG-Uv9 ham radio. Does anyone have experience with programming it? I watched a few videos but can't figure out how to program a repeater into it. I'm trying to program a repeater using Repeater Book. If anyone knows how, can you walk me through a step by step...

We have a link system of about 4 repeaters in my area, I'm trying to find a way that I can link a DMR talk group to the link system. So if you talk into DMR TG 314267 it would come out into the link system and vice versa. I'm not looking to set up a whole repeater in my house, just a mobile...

I'm having trouble programming my MCS2000 for repeaters and could use some assistance. I have successfully programmed specific channels with no PL tones, and can transmit and receive clearly. However, when I try programming PL tones, I cannot hit the repeater, and cannot hear traffic from the...

Good afternoon, I work for a local FD in the middle TN area. Just as a little background we cover 620 Sq miles and have 5 tower sites on an analog UHF system (yes, we are behind). With that being said we have many radio dead spots where are portables will not get out. We have had some sites...

I am looking for an app (or website) that not only lists all repeaters in my area, but which ones have backup power (solar, propane, etc.). Also is there a resource that shows the repeaters reach? On one one of hoshnasi's youtube videos (famous ham youtuber), it shows the reach of a specific...

I brought something up with my local repeater friends earlier today and I told them I’d come on here and get some answers. The topic of the discussion was IDing on local repeaters and if IDing your callsign via CW was fine. Repeaters seem to have the choice of IDing either by CW or phonetically...

Hi All, I am returning to the hobby and am more of a 2M/70cm listener than a talker. I often drive long stretches throughout the western states. Is there any new tech out there in the mobile units (Kenwood, ICOM) that allow for auto tone decode when a band scan hits a repeater? I have the...

If this thread better belongs somewhere better, moderators feel free- I'm listening to a local business on one my of my Motorola P25 handhelds but I've cross tested this frequency on a few of my other radios that include Kenwood and the same thing happens where, ever so often, an interference...

I hold a GMRS license and I want to set up a repeater for chatting with some friends and family. Using only mobile radios at 4 watts, we can no longer hear each other after about 2 miles or so. I would like to set up rather cheap repeater to extend such chatter, doesn't need to be too special...

I've been monitoring my local police dispatch frequency for my city which is obviously on a repeater. Each time someone talks, whether it be a dispatcher on a base station or a police officer on their mobile/handheld, there is this constant "sweeping" like sound. Like the sound a broom would...

Hi, is there a way to connect a TK8180 accy port to a TKR850 accy port to enable the 8180 to be used as an aux link radio without the use of an external repeater controller? IE: is their a way to enable half duplex on link radio full duplex on repeater? we want to link two GMRS repeaters...
