IC-7100 REMOTERIG REPEATER
« on: 2016-06-25, 03:08:33 »
Hello,
          I have the remoterig and IC-7100 working great. I can talk to a friend on the remote end on simplex give find... I can get into a repeater on the remote end fine. But i can not hear the repeater at all. My friend says he hears me on the repeater fine but i can't hear him over the repeater. Has anyone had this issue?

Thanks

Do you have TSQL turned on ? The repeater might not xmit a tone.

Is that a menu setting?

No, but if you see TSQL on the lcd, it's on. You control it by touching on TONE on the bottom of the screen when it's displayed (ie: it is a screen menu, not a setting menu item).

Yes i tried that....I think it's a transmission line problem. The radio will output 50 watts in the antenna and the guy on the repeater can hear me. But i never hear the repeater.... i can hear my friend where the remoterig is located. 70cm i hear good on 2m his signal is weak, replace antenna with dummy load and i can hear the local guy just fine.


Thanks

If you're hearing with a dummy load but not the antenna....I'd say you're right, either feedline, or the antenna itself.
