I believe the MTR can only do one tone code at a time. bb In a message dated 8/13/2009 9:19:46 P.M. Central Daylight Time, maire-rad...@verizon.net writes:
how about one repeater but different tone codes? or the repeater is at some other location.

The frequency listed on the MTR2000 is that of the schools maint. department. The other MTR2000, hook to the other antenna, is the Schools PD. I know those for a fact. Now its time to locate the other repeater system. The only odd ball thing I do know is that every once in a while, when a bus is talking to another bus or dispatch, you get a high squeal walk on over them, but its most likely another drive not paying attention and trying to key their radio. But I wonder if it might be the maint. since their frequency is so close to ours. --- In _repeater-buil...@repeater-buirep_ (mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com) , "Gary" <n6...@...> wrote: > > The UHF repeater is likely mismarked or the frequency info you obtained for > your school's license is inaccurate.
