I made a visit to a great local Ham Radio store, Mike's Electronics in Pompano Beach, the other day. Mike was kind enough to take a look. All the settings were correct, but the unit was putting out a very weak signal - as in, just barely registering on his meter. Rather than spending any...

Thank you for your comments. I did not know there was a way of testing the encoder (tone board) outside of tripping the repeater. I will try to hook up with one of the local clubs or a hamfest to gets some hands-on help. Thanks much!
