First time on a repeater?

A friendly how-to

Listen on is the frequency your radio receives from the repeater. Transmit on is the frequency your radio sends to it. Most radios handle this with an offset setting.

  • Program the listen frequency, the offset and the tone (PL) into your radio.
  • Listen first. When it’s quiet, give your call sign and say you’re listening.
  • Pause between transmissions so others can break in.
