What radios do you plan on using? Some radios already have this capability such as the Kenwood TM-V7A which I use for crossband repeater all the time at 50/35watts If you are planning on a base station system and not portable there is also software out that will allow you to use your computer as

Receiver Squelch is just that ... a level at which the local receiver un-squelches. The repeater squelch is the level the station uses to determine (for its own internal controller) when it is actually going to pass a signal through for repeat. I would recommend that you just set both at the

Adam... My experience with a C85GFB is that my squelch also seems a bit tight, but so far I have not been able to do anything about it. I set it to threshold when I had the service monitor on it, and the station was within specifications. FWIW - I currently have the station set for AND

Unfortunately, a Quantar has no intrinsic ability to decode DTMF unless it is equipped with a SAM option. SAM = Station Access Module. With the SAM option you can do exactly what you want with a combination of SAM and wildcard programming. The SAM option can be retrofitted in the field.
