The Avalon repeater is a + offset as mentioned above. TX is 147.690 Rx is 147.090 I was just on it this morning and there's no PL tone needed currently.

DCS tones are used between radios to open the squelch. I never use it, but if for example you had two HT's on a channel with a lot of noise, you could set a DCS tone. That will only break the squelch on the receiving ht, when the transmitting ht transmits with that tone. The problem is, you could be stepping all over someone else on the freq w/o knowing it because your squelch only opens when your buddy is transmitting.
