Send several radio

okay today I'm going to answer the question of how do you access a repeater with a handheld or a base station radio the process is the same for all types of radios as well as all types of analog repeaters I was gonna film this video outside today I thought it'd be nicer but unfortunately it's too windy we'll go outside later on to try and make a contact the particular repeater I'm going to show you as an example is our club G bark repeater there are two repeaters that are linked together on two meters as well as 70 centimeters and I'll show you both of them but the the procedure is gonna be the same for any repeater that you may want to connect to alright so let's get started there's three pieces of information about the repeater that you need to know the first being the repeaters transmit frequency this is the frequency that we that you will set your radio to receive on so take a look here I'm gonna use the example of our clubs two meter repeater look in the directory I got this online New England repeater directory any repeaters comm okay here's our club's repeater one forty six point four four five you'll notice here it says plus one M that's the offset and then we go over a little further and it says seventy seven that is the devas of the tone frequency that we need okay so the you already said it typed it in one forty six point four four five this is also the frequency that is listed right here as we just saw the next piece of information you need to know is the repeaters offset this is the frequency your radio will transmit on that the receipt that the repeater will be listening to it is different from the frequency you will receive on but there's always going to be relative to it being either above or below and it's gonna be indicated with a plus or a minus in the directory so you'll see here in the list under the frequency listings but then we see OFS that's offset see different repeaters have a plus or a minus next one the common offset for most two meter repeaters is 0.6 megahertz in this case orgy Barker Peter has an odd offset so it's actually one megahertz in the directory if if there's an odd offset take a look at these other repeaters notice they just show a plus or a minus but with ours the odd offset it says plus 1 M so that means plus one megahertz so we're gonna be transmitting on 147 point four four five okay and the last piece of information you need to know is the pl tone this can also be referred to as the CTC SS tone or the code as you'll see here code and our code is 77 Hertz this this code is a sub-audible tone that must be transmitted by your radio in order to have your signal be accepted by the repeater no tone no entry this tone is put in place to help eliminate unwanted interference so let's take a look at how to set this up so we've already set our received frequency here 146 for 4 or 5 next I'm gonna set the tone so I'm gonna go into menu and I'm gonna scroll to menu item number 13 okay here okay it's already set 77 hit menu again and we can toggle it you can go to different tones different repeaters are gonna have different tones again iris happens to be 77 menu again saves it okay now now we need to set the direction of the offset go up to menu item number 25 okay it's gonna say this particular radio it says F SF t dash D that means offset direction press menu again want to set it to plus if you were to set it to off then you would be transmitting on the same frequency that you're receiving on and that's not what we want to do so boss okay menu again saves it okay now the directions set but we need to tell the radio how much of an offset that we need again most most repeaters are going to be 0.6 but in this case our repeater is 1 megahertz so I'm going to type in that we lost menu okay so I'm going to type in 0 0 menu again saves it okay that's it okay notice what happens when I push the transmit button really it jumps up to 147 right and then it when I let go goes back to the receive so there we go we're programmed all done okay I'm going to switch over to the southern radio this one I already have programmed I'm gonna show you now with the 70 centimeter repeater the process for programming it is exactly the same take a look at the directory and we'll find our 70 centimeter repeater so we'll go down here and the one I have underlined for for one point 700 and then you'll see offset follow that down offset says Plus notice here there's no number next to it indicating how much of an offset if there's no number that means it's gonna use a standard offset the offset for 70 centimeters is generally 5 megahertz so so that means our transmit frequency is gonna be plus 5 megahertz from before for one 700 so that'll be 4 4 6 700 the tone for this repeater underlined there again 77 Hertz take a look at the other other repeaters you can see all different numbers it's it's different for all repeaters depending on your location you may be heard better on the 2 meter versus the 70 centimeter machine um my recommendation program them both into your radio so you can select between the two depending on your location ok and finally I'm gonna show you yet another way that you can access the g-park linked repeater system and that is through echo link go ahead and download this for your cell phone or your computer it's available for both to access our system connect to the 441 700 node it can also be searched for by typing in n1 k GN okay we'll search aha there is Bridgeport okay go ahead click on that you will now be able to talk in on your phone and your transmissions will be broadcast out on both the 2 meter and 70 centimeter repeaters now when I connect when I connect we should hear some kind of confirmation on the radio we'll see what happens look at that someone already wants to talk to us and one D ID do you copy k b1 t hm [Music] all right cool I'm actually on in HT I'm outside in Easton right now I'm doing the video for how to connect to the repeater so good to hear you and good timing [Applause]
