Hello,
I guess it's my history from my days in a two way radio shop, I think
everything needs CTCSS encode and decode on it unless there is a control
operator that has it disabled on a temporary basis. The only down side that

Yes I do Agree, but mostly clubs tend to apply for a Vanity Call ie W8LRC
is Lowell Radio Club and W8LHS is Lowell High School so the club
subsitutes a Club call under the old Sys. and comes up with this Vanity Call
which to me is cool, but it works GR8 4 everyone.

You can set the repeater time out timer with the Desktrac RSS. If you
don't have that - you could try

Some of us program in an announcement that comes up once an hour and
states the PL, also there is an ID that comes up every so often that my
system ENCODES the PL along with that ID (users hear the repeaters, and
can catch the PL in their radios with decode). Tell me this . how

Too close to the 2nd harmonic of 60 Hz...

Or if they would have had tone you could have just dialed up there tone.

Can anyone identify these Midland units and tell me anything about

What part of the spectrum are they in, will they work in the ham

Hi All,
I have a couple of wav files which I would like to try and use as a
courtesy tone.
Problem I have, is that the controller will only accept 1 or 2 tone
sequences
I would like to try and somehow get the tone pattern for the wav file, and
use them to program my controller.
Anyone
On one of the systems that I take care of, we fought interference from a
paging transmitter for about 12 months before making the choice to go to PL
access full time. In our case, the signal was weak enough that a mobile on
the fringe of our coverage area could cover it, but strong enough to
-My 2 meter and 440 machines do not have a CTCSS disable
and both send out CTCSS tone that is muted with COS in the repeater
hang time.

Another thought, in regards to the itinerant mobile, is the PL100
concept where a repeater receiver responds to 100 htz. as well as their
normal tone. With this system any transient could access any PL100

I am trying to resolve a problem ona local

Background:
This a commercial GE repeater that has been
modified for 2m use. When the noise is not present the repeater
performance is outstanding with a wide coverage area.
I have a CAT-1000 controller and using the
DVR I am able to have had different WAV files recorded into it. Works great. I
once had the Nextel beep. beep to see how it sounded. It was ok to play with,
