Worldwide DX Amateur Radio Forums - Ham - CB - HF - VHF - UHF

Hi Moleculo,

That's what I figured.

When I asked him if he had tried it personally with a radio, etc,
his reply was "I understand, but the only way we can address the problem is to see the radio."

Since you have duplicated what I explained to him, it at least gives me
more ammunition that says it doesn't work like he thinks/has been told, etc.

Thanks again!!

I'm fairly new to all this and still struggling to understand quite a bit, but I was browsing these Forums and saw this thread.

I have a VX-8R and there's a local repeater with different PL codes for rx/tx and also the different rx/tx frequencies have a non-standard split.

There's a page in the manual with a section on how to program for this. I did it and have had no troubles.

If I remember, I'll check tonight for the page number of the manual.

But if I remember correctly, you program in your receive frequency and PL as you normally would, then assigning to a memory spot.

Then, you separately program in your transmit frequency and PL. You assign it to the same memory spot as the other, but while you do so, you also hold in the PTT button.

I hope I'm not misunderstanding the issue and that this helps.

Yeah, that's what I did too. I'll try it again and report back...maybe it's just the way I did it the first couple of times.

I tried it again with the same results. It always TX the tone that I have set on the RX frequency.

That's odd.

Did you set it with the software or manually?

I have no explanation, but I set it up with mine and it's working fine.

I did it manually and then used another rig to do a tone scan while TX with the HT. I did it twice to make sure I didn't screw up the programming.
