I think others have answered this, but RPT1 should always be the module of the repeater you are using. For W6CX, which has 2 meter radios for DStar on 145.000 offset +2.500, that module letter is C. So you want RPT1 to be W6CX¡C (dots are spaces, so the C falls in the 8th position).
RPT2 should always be the terminal identifier of the gateway than connects to the internet. For W6CX, RPT2 should always be W6CX¡G
Per my other notes, the most likely problem in using a new-to-you repeater is configuring the 4 callsign fields. Looks like you are on the right track. When you are done, use your radio¡¯s menu system to display Callsign fields. What you should see (in your case):
MyCall = K6NCX
UR = CQCQCQ
RPT1 = W6CX¡C (again, dots are spaces)
RPT2 = W6CX¡G

OK, In the past I've tried to paint a whole picture and I've gotten responses to one or two aspects, so I'll try asking tiny questions, one at a time.
Making a local call via RF through W6CX on 2m, I understand that URcall should be CQCQCQ. But should RPT1 be:
W6CX (and no more) or
W6CX C or
W6CX C or
W6CX C?
I ask because I'm not haviing any success getting into local repeater (W6CX.)
