For folks with tone squelch-equipped transceivers:
Each repeater transmits an access tone on its output, same as the one required to get in. This allows for tone squelch reception of the repeater, blocking unwanted intermod, noise and out-of-area repeaters.
The tone is set to 0.5 kHz deviation, and "cannot" be set any higher. This tone level works well with newer transceivers, but older models may be unable to decode it reliably, causing audio drop-outs. The user is forced to use carrier squelch reception instead.
A 180-mile Round Trip on 147.12
Thursday night, March 22, 2007, during the club net, on a wet, rainy night, Jim, K9ARO was checked in to our net from out Wickenburg way. He is a little south of the town of Wickenburg, about 90 miles northwest of WB7CRK in east Mesa. Larry noted the distance to the net, and said, "CQ Tucson," which is 90 miles southeast. Don, KD7UIZ in central Tucson came back, and he and Jim were able to exchange words over the 180 miles between them, through the repeater. Jim was running 5 watts from his RV, parked on some high ground, which was loud and clear, with some noise, but which started failing when rain hung out over the repeater site, raising static levels. Meanwhile, Don's 100 watts was very strong into the repeater.
