Cant pick up any repeater and only hear this sound

[FKimble]

Turn off all your receive tones! If you set a wrong tone you will not hear anything. Some repeaters require receiving a tone(sent by the radio wanting access to the repeater) to open up. Others repeaters while needing to receive a tone, do not send the tone out when transmitting. With no receiving tone, you will hear anything on that frequency.

I had so many problems with random repeaters until I realised that not all use CTCSS on their outputs!

Perhaps what might sound better is “do you have another transceiver which has a different design and IF frequencies as this might move any intermods around?” 😉

That's great!

Most of these got tones, correct? Hamilton Amateur Radio Repeaters

Doesn't matter if they do. You don't need the receive tone to hear ANY of them. You will need a tone on your transmit to access the repeater but you don't need a tone receive tone to hear them.
