programming ctcss tones

 

... Very annoying!
Personally, I "lock up" very few - if any - repeaters with CTCSS. I leave 'em ALL "open tone" on receive. Hasn't been a problem the past 15+ years.

It also prevents keying up on another's conversation if their repeater happens to also be in range.

For localized events, I'll "lock up" a simplex frequency at low power with CTCSS or DCS both on TX and RX. But for general use? Think of keeping ip "open."

The answer, sadly, is no. I called and was told that the FT-60 does not have that capability. It CAN have a CTSS/DCS for xmt/rcv or vice versa but not separate tones of the same type. Very annoying!

If you save the programming for each repeater into a memory location it will save the RX / TX frequency, tone and power level (I think) for each one. Clint has a good quick programming guide you can Google.



I listen to several repeaters with a tone of 107.2. One has a different ctcss tone.

Will the FT60 accept more than one ctcss tone while keeping the others? I have read the manual and still don't know.

Each memory can be programmed with its own tone.? Also power level and repeater offset frequency.? I my area, some repeaters are on a 1.00 MHz offset instead of 0.600 MHz.
