Hey everyone, I'm brand new to DMR, I've got my handheld programmed and all that. I'm wondering what talkgroups carry over to the ARES system on the PVRA 441.550 Torrington W1HDN Repeater. I've found this information, but according to the ARES website, the same repeater is listed as being a part of the ARES system, however whenever I try to access for example Northeast TG 3172 on the ARES system through the W1HDN repeater, it doesn't seem as though that works. My radio doesn't show up on the Netwatch. I am unable to make the Cornwall W1SP repeater from my location in Torrington, so W1HDN is my only option and I'd really like to use the ARES system. My portable is a TYT MD-UV380. I have the Northeast (TG:3172) and Statewide (TG:8901) programmed in with their respective time slots/color code for the 441.550 W1HDN repeater. I DO show up on Netwatch when I transmit on the Statewide, however it shows as BrandMeister and not ARES. I also cannot hear any traffic on the ARES system. The website for the W1HDN repeater does say that statewide passes through to ARES. There are a couple people transmitting right now on Statewide, but I can't hear any of it. Let me know if you need more information and thank you!
