Hi all. I will send you an update on the issues I have had accessing
repeaters. Last Wednesday, I took my HT with me to the local amateur radio
club. When the meeting was over, I had another radio operator check out my
HT. Here's what we found:
1. The radio is transmitting ok. I was standing in the parking lot while
he was in his vehicle. I was able to use my HT to call him.
2. The repeater shift is ok. I made sure it was set to .6 MHZ for 2
meters. I don't think the problem has anything to do with tones because the
problem occurs when trying to access open repeaters. Does anyone else have
any recommendations? Thanks again.

OK. I did a search out 50 miles from Portland using the 2005 version
of TravelPlus from ARRL. I don't see any 145.38 repeaters in that
area. I do see a 147.38 in Cedar Mill which is an open repeater.

The only 145.27 repeater within that 50-mile radius is in Forest
Grove, but it has a P/L of 107.2. Hope this helps.

Here's a point of clarification:
Beaverton is a suburb of Portland, Or and is located in Washington
County.
Gresham is also part of Portland, but is on the other side of town. Here
are a couple of the repeaters I am trying to access are 145.27 and
147.38.
I hope this helps.
