Make sure you use the one in the GRP UR. >Also does this make it so you are heard on any of the systems >that might be linked to the repeater you select, or is this >just for local call on that repeater? If you use the one in the GRP UR, and your repeater is linked, you should be heard on all the linked systems in theory. I said in theory because I have no way to try it by myself, but you have one. If you use the one in the GRP CQ, you will be heard only on your local repeater because there is no RPT2 set. >I have also noticed that if you keep pushing the band button >you get differant other options which I did read the manual >but it's confusing to me. I am not sure what other options you get, but I agree the manual is confusing. >Also once you go to DR Mode, Select a repeater, long press the UR >button, select GRP UR, then select CQCQCQ, does the radio stay >in this mode, even if you select another repeater or do you have >to do this everytime you select a differant repeater. The radio will stay in that mode. To select a different repeater, you press the DR button then select another one. That is all you will need to do. The RPT1 and 2 will change but the UR stays the same. >Also the comment you mentioned here, how can I tell the >differance?? > >"Don't get confused with CQCQCQ in GRP CQ which does not allow >you to set RPT2." When you have selected CQCQCQ in the GRP UR, and long press CS, turn the knob until it shows RPT2. You will see your gateway set to the RPT2. If you selected CQCQCQ in the GRP CQ, it does not show RPT2. 73, -- JI1BQW - Kay Ishikawa
