Re: FT-857D not breaking 2m repeater squelch
|
Brian, You stated that the tone was ON.? When you are in Multi function row "e" you should see "TEN" displayed at the top of the screen.? If not, press the A-TON key until the TEN is displayed.
Hope this?helps. 73 W7RTL Rich

My 857d seems to have a problem. This is the first time I have tried VHF with this radio. I have programed it as follows...
Rx:146.730 -0.6 MHz
PL: 107.2
Antenna: portable from my HT via coax
Power: 5w
Tone is on and offset is good.
Note: this radio has been modified for all-band operations.
From my shack with the HT on low power I can access the repeater no issues. I put the HT antenna on the 857D and I cannot break the squelch. I can hear the outbound signal on my HT reverse so I know the radio is transmitting. While just sitting there I can hear conversations on the repeater with the 857D. Just cannot break the repeater's input squelch.
The radio seems straight forward to program for 2m repeater operation. So I believe I have it setup correctly. Maybe I am missing something.
Has anyone had similar issues with VHF repeater operations?
Thanks,
