Which of the following could be the reason you are unable to access a repeater whose output you can hear?
- A.Improper transceiver offset
- B.You are using the wrong CTCSS tone
- C.You are using the wrong DCS code
- D.All these choices are correct (correct answer)
WhyBeing unable to access a repeater whose output you can hear could be caused by an improper transceiver offset, the wrong CTCSS tone, or the wrong DCS code. Failing to access a repeater whose output you can hear clearly usually comes down to your transmitted signal not matching what the repeater expects: the wrong transmit offset, the wrong CTCSS tone, or the wrong DCS code can each independently prevent the repeater from recognizing and repeating your signal, so any of them could be the cause, answer D.
