Pardon for asking....
But my understanding is CTCSS means the radio has the capability to emit a tone for repeater access.
Is there more to it than this?
Because I recently sold a radio (TM261A Kenwood) on line that I used soley for repeater operation. It did have the tone board inside as all the repaters here have tones on them, and I was able to access them with this radio.
Now the buyer is trying to say it doesn't have "CTCSS" and wants a partial refund.
I emailed him back asking if he's having trouble with repeater access.
His words to me:
In the ad i did post:
Can anyone please shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.

I have a portable HT, @ 5 watts, which receives from 50 miles my local repeater on the hour time and updates automatic with ctcss. The radio i bought does not do this?

This radio does have the ability to work repeaters. It does have a built in CTCSS for repeater PL tones. It also has the ability to name the repeaters
Can anyone please shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance.
