[GCARC] 220 repeater

[John Zaruba Jr]

The 220 repeater is now in service with the correct offset (-1.6) and PL tone (131.8)

Unfortunately, there is no facility to turn off PL, the repeater set up only allows for PL (CTCSS) or DCS. The good news: you can run tone squelch on you radios now.

That actually may be an FCC requirement for a station in repeater operation. But I'm not positive about that. > John, let me know when you're going back there.

There is a CTCSS tone of 131.8 needed for access. I'll get up there this week with a laptop and correct the split issue, turn off the CTCSS tone and get some other clean up work done as well. 73, John K2ZA Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 24, 2017, at 18:16, Jim Wright wrote: > > You said would eork on 220 reoeater today. Just now I heard the 220 repeater ID but I could not kerchunk it. Tried pl 131.8 others but still no. Is working for you?
