Repeaters \u2013 What Slots and Talk Groups to use<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. In general, ALL Talk Groups can be used on either slot via a Repeater.<\/b><\/p>\n

Most Talk Groups will be User Activated (UA) by calling the Talk Group from your radio. The Talk Group will remain open for 10mins from your last PTT.
\nThe Repeater Keeper might wish you to use one Slot for the UK and the other Slot for outside off the UK.
\nSee No 2 and 3 below<\/p>\n

2. <\/b>This links shows you what is set as Static on each repeater<\/a><\/p>\n

Having a Regional Talk Group set as static is becoming common, as it links a group of Repeaters together into one large community of repeaters.<\/p>\n

Static Talk Groups never Time Out. Unlike User Activated as outlined below (No 3).
\nThis means they can pass Traffic at any time without needing to call the Talk Group from your radio.
\nJust go to that Channel for the Static Talk Group in your radio and you will RX any traffic.<\/p>\n

3.<\/b> User Activated (UA).
\nUser Activated Talk Groups will automatically time out after *10\/15 mins if you do not retransmit to it again.
\n*Time out timer length is set by the repeater keeper.<\/p>\n

4.<\/b> 4000 Disconnect\/Unlink<\/a> from a Talk Group.
\nNot required on FreeDMR. Just call the next Talk Group.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> 9990 Echo\/Parrot<\/a><\/p>\n

Visiting or Travelling around the UK<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Talk Groups \u2013 2350 UK Call, 2351 Chat 1, 2352 Chat 2, 2353 Chat 3 <\/b><\/p>\n

With general approval from Repeater Keepers. You can use SLOT 2<\/b> for the above 5 Talk Groups if Visiting or Travelling around the UK.
\nThis is to make programming your radio easy for each repeater you might use.
\n You should have all 4 Talk Groups programmed in to your Radio so you can QSY to one of the three Chat Talk Groups.<\/b>
\nIdeally, it would be worthwhile programming the 4 Talk Groups on both Slots. This lets you use the other slot if one is in use.<\/i>
\nMost Talk Groups is User Activated Talk Groups will automatically time out after *10\/15 mins if you do not retransmit to it again.
\n*Time out timer length is set by the repeater keeper.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to be in one area for some time or frequently you should \u2013<\/b><\/p>\n

1.<\/b> Do a Google Search and see if the Repeater has a Website or Facebook Group with info on how to use.
\n2.<\/b> You will need to see what Static Talks Groups they have set.
