repeater squelch tone question
Hello all,
If a repeater requires a squelch tone for access, will it also transmit the same squelch tone? TIA, Tom |

If the repeater was accessed by tone it would retransmit a tone (can't remember if they used the same or different). If it was accessed without tone, it wouldn't transmit tone. Another repeater would transmit a brief tone if the repeater was double keyed before the timer reset. It allowed users to monitor on-hook without hearing QSOs in progress but their receivers would go off-hook when breaking stations came into the conversation. This had nothing to do with transmitted tone, however. At the time the repeater was carrier access. - - LRod Master Woodbutcher and seasoned termite Shamelessly whoring my website since 1999 http://www.woodbutcher.net |

Rod,
Thanks for the information. Based on your info, I contacted a person (from a website link) that covers a particular repeater that I was interested in and found out that that repeated in fact does transmit a tone. The reason he gave for that particular repeater was that it is in an urban environment where there might be other traffic on the repeater frequency. Tom "LRod" wrote in message ...

Our repeater does not require PL to access, It does however transmit 107.2
Hz for the purposes of using the auto patch. Autopatch is for members only. .. Reason for no PL for access is we want it open to visitors to the area. That way they don't have to fiddle with setting PL while driving. It is a high level machine and the area gets lots of vacationers, biz folks, and tourists. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Another of our repeaters does require PL and transmits PL -- the access PL prevents interference to another repeater. The transmitted PL is again for purposes of autopatch -- (for members only). -- The Anon Keyboard I doubt, therefore I might be |
