Re: [chirp_users] PL tone 146.3 not available to use

I would double check with the management company. 146.3 might work but there's no way to put it in any commercial radio. Commercial (Motorola, Kenwood, Yaesu and others) have no way to program in that tone frequency. Try 146.2 in your 82 and it should work just fine.

It is 146.3. It works in by bf 82 that way. Is there a way to put that tone in chirp?

Thanks

146.3 is not a standard CTCSS Tone. It's much more likely that the
tone you need is 146.2 .
It's unlikely that your repeater is using a non-standard tone.

Hello.

I have a baofeng hp 82 and I used the older software to program
it and it works great with our repeater. Then I got a btech 50
and downloaded the chirp software to program it but I cannot get
it to work right off our repeater.  One of the problems is that
the pl tone box only has a drop down box and preset pl tones and
ours is 146.3. I can't figure out how to put that tone in the
chirp program. I have tried to manually input it into the radio
itself and it won't work. I had this problem with the bf82 also
before I got the software and programmed it with the computer
instead of putting it into the radio. Can anyone help?
