New-CB radios with CTCSS Sub tones,who's tried it yet?

CB Repeaters-non split tx (single frequency)use of split tones CTCSS

Some of the new cb radios feature split ctcsss tones

How to use with a Parrot repeater box to avoid ring around and not use split tx offset.

Program your base for example

Base
CH2 Tone Code 1 RX
CH2 Tone Code 6 TX

Portables\Mobiles
CH2 Tone Code 6 RX
CH2 Tone Code 1 TX

Now you have semi duplex without shifting the frequency,NO more loop around as that was one of the cruxes of simplex parrot repeaters in past.

plug your Parrot box into base or software version (F6DQM Simplex DX I recommend using read the documents inclused)

Repeater software please consider a small donation to Gabriel http://f6dqm.free.fr/soft/simplex/en/simplex.htm
away you go!

THis split ctcss system also works on 446PMR without breaking the rules if you have a more advanced set that can be programmed with different ctcss or DCS sub tones...Give it a go!

I am working on a suitable interface pcb to pc and radio,but all the basics are there to get you started.

More cb for 2024 should support split ctcss\dcs but check first.

Update!!! new parrot box !!!

Radioddity CB-500 -new set CTCSS/DCS Single and split tones available
Repeater shift +/-
Alpha ch
0/5kc
NRC DSP noise reduction
2k/4k dev USA

New PCB updated and firmware
From what I gather there is rx audio out on the six pin microphone too to ease interfacing radio to pc or repeater box.
Also has a better fist microphone with improved switch.

How about reusing UK Channel 14-14 ctcss tone as a new ctcss mobile/portable national ctcss channel???
