If so, they shouldn't be on the repeater's output frequency having a simplex QSO. It's also possible they were on the repeater and the repeater doesn't pass the tone though to output, as someone mentioned earlier.

Jim,
This much I knew. But I had it programmed correctly. So it is now obvious to me it was a simplex local communication and they were using a different tone.
It's all good now. The fog is lifting.

You have programmed a receive CTCSS tone on the frequency/channel you were listening to. CTCSS is a form of selective squelch. When you have a receive CTCSS tone programmed, only signals that are transmitting the matching CTCSS tone can open your squelch. Same as a repeater that requires tone access. If you don't transmit the matching tone, the repeater can't hear you. Pressing the [MONI] button overrides any programmed receive CTCSS tone, programmed receive DCS code and SQL setting so that you can hear any FM signal that is in range. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CTCSS.php <http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_CTCSS.php> Jim KC9HI _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com <mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users <http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users> This message was sent to Dennis Wage at dwage@dwage.com <mailto:dwage@dwage.com> To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com <mailto:chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com>
