    RW>> Actually, it is. It is: https://mygmrs.com/repeater/9220

    Near Niagara Falls! Visited a couple of years ago. Pretty
    amazing place
    although the parking garage was a bit sketchy.

    That repeater uses transmit tone 203.5 and receive tone 203.5.
    You
    don't need the receive tone unless there are other repeaters
    on the
    same frequency and you don't want to hear both of them at the
    same
    time. Let's assume you can ignore the receive tone. In this
    case I
    recommend the following settings (for CHIRP but other software
    is very
    similar):

    Loc Memory channel number
    Frequency 462.550000
    Name Escarp550 (or whatever you want to call it)
    Tone Mode Tone (transmit tone only)
    Tone 203.5
    Duplex +
    Offset 5.000000
    Mode FM
    Power High

    In CHIRP if you want to apply both transmit and receive tones,
    set Tone
    Mode to TSQL, Tone to transmit tone and ToneSQL to receive
    tone.

    Let me know how it goes!

    I have not been able to down;load CHIRP so I wrote my own
    progframmer that uses CSV file data to program my UV-5R. i AM NOT
    JUST SURE HOW TO GO ABOUT PROGRAMMING MY RADIOS MANUALLY, SUYCH ASA
    SETTINGS LIKE ctcs, ETC.
