Re: [KX3] VHF FM Operation

Bryan,

It's -highly- unlikely either repeater involved transmits a CTCSS tone,
which would be needed to accomplish what you want ... -very- few do.

Do you know if either one does? A repeater directory should tell you.
What's the call of the one you refer to? I can look it up for you if you
don't have a RD

I've been a repeater coordinator for almost 50 years, FWIW.

That depends a lot on where you live. Around Chicago and around NorCal,
two places where I've spent a lot of time on VHF/UHF, most 2M and 440
MHz repeaters DO TX CTCSS tones.

Ken,

You clearly are not a Repeater Coordinator in Southern California.

Co-channel interference is pretty common.

Most repeaters do encode PL on the output side, and a decoder in your
radio is extremely helpful.
