[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Repeater help

[Ian]

Brian,  not sure if K4AF uses a PL tone for access but we do.  Be sure your
channels for the W4HFH 2m and 70cm repeaters both have a PL (also known as
CTCSS) of 107.2 Hz.  You're able to hear our repeaters without it but you
wouldn't be able to key them.

All, anyone with a Yaesu FT-70D who can give Brian some tips?

73, Ian N8IK
