ACCOMODATING 2 METER REPEATER OFFSET WITH FLEX 6400

Martin Pozesky

I am considering the purchase of a 2 meter transverter for use with my 6400 but I have a question about how to work the offset and tone issues for 2 meter repeaters.

1.First of all is it possible with the Flex 6000 series and If so, how is it done?? and

2 Can the Operation be remoted like the other flex functions into SDR or a Maestro??

Thank you in advance for your information and advice! Regards, Marty K3KYH

I have all the local repeaters set up in Flex Memory, so it is easy to switch from one to another, with all the correct settings.

Also, FRStack has a "scanning" option and will stop on any that open the squelch, so if you want to scan the repeaters, in memory, FRStack can do the job.

Thanks Alan, I have not messed with 10 M FM repeater operation in many years. I appreciate you posting this!

Works great! I just brought up a 6 M FM repeater in the Denver area on the first shot. The controls are very intuitive. It looks like there is no tone squelch, right? Would be nice to have that capability and to be able to set it independently of the TX tones. Also, it looks like the only place to adjust the squelch is on the radio panel. Would be nice to have that on the Flag as well. All in all an excellent implementation of FM repeater functionality.

It is nice to be able to put one slice on the RX frequency and one on the TX frequency to allow listening to the repeater input. Great for debugging problems when helping someone who can't open the repeater, but are close enough to be heard direct.

Looks like we set repeaters in SmartSDR for Mac via the "memories" area.
