DCS code question

[WSBW480]

I own several GMRS radios and use repeaters as we all do. My question involves manufacturers use of DCS codes pre-programmed into their radios.

A couple of the repeaters I use require the use of DCS codes under 023 which makes my current hand held units unusable to transmit on these repeaters. So my question is this.

Do any of you good folks know of brands of hand held GMRS radios offering this option? I have a Radioddity DB20-G mobile that goes down to D000N but can’t locate a hand held with same option

REPEATER OWNER may have done this on purpose to keep out non commercial radios.

Seeing plenty of popular repeaters in Ca. going to the custom DPL's. Spanish seem to also use them on inputs.

Yes...
It keeps out the CCR's and other lesser radios.

As said in another thread when MSI introduced DPL/DCS 023 was the lowest tone in use. Most LMR manufacturers used this common list. The stuff below are CCR radios.

I was running a non standard Inverted DPL on a repeater to keep idiots off of it. When they did PL/DPL scans it confused them and wouldn't give them the proper code but I could also hear them on the input with my SDR at the site trying their hardest to crack it. ( keying up with every code they can, hoping to crack the code)

With that being said, I know my VP8000 also didn't have the inverted DPL I was using, but the work around was to use the inverted code of the programmed inverted code. There is a chart out there, and I think its on here as well.
