Hello, I'm programming my APX8000 for the P25 channels in the area and would like to know if there is a "go by" to look at for reference? I have a few of the channels programmed, and the ones I can reach from my location appear to work, but haven't been able to raise anyone. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 73, John Keeting | *K3ETS*

Hi John, FSG has three p25 capable repeaters https://flscg.org/repeaters/ Ryan KJ4SHL has some more info on them and the others here: https://kj4shl.com/p25/ The most important thing to understand about the P25 repeaters is they are mixed mode and linked in both modes. For linking to work on P25 you need to have both repeaters on the same talk group too. By default all repeaters are on worldwide, and a PTT activation of another talkgroup will change that repeater to a different talk group. When this happens the other repeaters will not hear you unless they are also on that talkgroup. Our supported talkgroups are: 10100 - Worldwide 10200 - North America 10300 - Europe 10400 - Pacific And each has three tac channels too: 10x01 - TAC 1 10x02 - TAC 2 10x03 - TAC 3 so North America TAC 3 is 10203 I will program TG 1 as local too. This is local to the repeater and will never link. Hope that helps, if you want hit me up and I'll schedule a time to get on there with you. 73's -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc.
Bryan, Thanks. This does help. I’ve programmed my radio with the talkgroups. Is the .425 repeater off the air? I’m available to test at your convenience. -73 de K3ETS On Fri, Apr 3, 2020 at 12:21 Bryan Fields <bryan@flscg.org> wrote:
