[chirp_users] Settings to match Motorola PL tones
Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new to radios in general, and more so programming them, but I'll do my best to get the terminology right.
I'm trying to use CHIRP to program a UV-5R so that it can communicate with a Motorola radio on a certain frequency. The Motorola is set to use 151.9400 with a PL tone of 67.0 for both send and receive.
PL is the same as CTCSS correct?
On the UV-5R, I've got Tone Mode set as TSQL and ToneSql set to 67.0 - and it does not work? The two radios are not communicating. Am I missing something? Something special about Motorola PL tones? Should be a standard right?
Thanks for any advice.
Jeff
You also need the offset.

I would say it is a cts code as pl 67.0 are shared and look the same, try it, I’m sure will work fine :)

PL is short for Private Line which is Motorola's trademark for CTCSS. Like Kleenex or Scotch tape, PL is often used generically for CTCSS.

Thanks guys,
This is direct, no repeater involved. This image is a screenshot of what I have, which does not work?

IMO no on the TSQL. That is different than CTCSS. INSTEAD YOU WANT ONLY T-CTCS On Jun 8, 2016 7:27 AM, "Jeffrey" fongemie@gmail.com wrote:

Thanks everyone, I figured it out through trial and error.
What Motorola software has as "PL" is DTCS in Chirp. I set up tome mode as DTCS and 664 and it works. Finally.
I'm just learning all this, and it sure would be easier if everyone used the same terms.

That tells me that the Motorola is really Digital Private Line (tm) or DPL(tm). So is Digital Tone Coded Squelch.
Glad you got it figured out.

TSQL = 67.0 is CTCSS. It is the same as manually programming R-CTCS = 67.0 and T-CTCS = 67.0. Tone = 67.0 is the same as programming R-CTCS = OFF and T-CTCS = 67.0.

Do you have the radio set for simplex operation?
