New radio: 'Repeater not found
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2023 8:41 pm
I have just switched radios for my hotspot. I'm now using a 6x2 from BTech. I've only programmed a couple channels, TG91 and TG9990 (echo). But I'm getting "Repeater not found" errors when I key up. My new radio is not being received by the hotspot. If I bring up the TG using my other radio, I then can hear the hot spot on the 6X2 radio. So it's not frequency or anything like that.
I have already googled this and see that most answers are it's something to do with using wrong color codes or slots. Well it's not. I have tried every combination of CC and slots. And on my other radios I use cc=1 and both slots 1 and two, for my Duplex hotspot and they work just fine.
It's just a transmit issue. By transmit, I mean the HS is just ignoring my signal. I did turn on one of my analog radios and I can hear the digital transmission.
There must be some other setup parameter I'm missing. One other thing. The echo TG worked when I first tried it. I manually programmed the echo group and it worked. I wanted to see how hard it might be to progeam manually. But every time I changed channels, I had to re-Select the talk group. So that's when I decided to use the SW. The problem started when I went to SW. I also made a copy of my original codeplug but can't see why it's not working now.
Suggestions?
BTW, I have a screenshot of both codeplugs for the channels and settings look the same as on the MD-430. But I tried attaching them but the forum won't post them. Ill try to load them to a server.
