1) The repeater may or may not
re-transmit a CTCSS tone - some
systems just use CTCSS to control
access to the repeater, but do not pass it along
when transmitting. If the S-Meter deflects,
but you cannot hear the audio, repeat steps
"1" through "4" above, but rotate the DIAL
so that "TSQ" disappears - this will allow
you to hear all traffic on the channel being
received.
