Greetings, all. I'm thinking about getting the radio described above for installation in a vehicle with no good place to mount a conventional radio.
I am aware that the Midland mobile rigs cannot do split tones...not a big deal in this area...however, there is a repeater which uses a DTCSS tone on the input, but nothing on the output. This is potentially a problem if the radio's tone control automatically programs both input and output on the same tone, since I would then not be able to hear the output...the output tone in the radio would mute it.
I'd like to know if the Midland will allow itself to programmed that way (tone on input, carrier squelch on output), or if that would also be considered splitting tones, from the radio's software perspective. Thanks in advance for all your help
