Hello. I've tried it as well on my rigs in the past. If the PL is
carried through to the receive frequency, the squelch will open only
if that repeater comes up; he's right; no tail at all. Many radios
will allow you to do that. Anyway, good luck getting it to work;
it's pretty cool when it does.--Matt, N1IBB.
