| <B>1. In general, ALL Talk Groups can be used on either slot via a Repeater.</B><br>
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. <br>
The Repeater Keeper might wish you to use one Slot for the UK and the other Slot for outside off the UK.<br>
See No 2 and 3 below<br>
<br>
<B>2.</B> Do a Google Search and see if your Repeater has a Website or Facebook Group with info on how to use the repeater.<br>
<br>
<B>3.</B> If Not you will need to do a search to see what Static Talks Groups they have set or not.-<br> 
Also under Description, they might have info on how to use the Repeater.<br>
You will need to look up the [https://brandmeister.network/?page=repeaters repeater] <br>
Use the link above and then in the Search Box type in the Repeater Name (GB7__ or MB6__)<br>
Click on the Name of the repeater and then scroll down to Slot details. ( See Photo)<br>

<I>Every Repeater will have different Static Talk Groups or non.</I><br>
<br>
<img src="https://hamradio.joomla.com/images/Static.jpg" alt="Trulli" width="300" height=""><br>
<br>
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.<br>
In the Photo above you can see Slot 2 has TG 2355 (Scotland) set as Static.<br>
<br>
Static Talk Groups never Time Out. Unlike User Activated as outlined below (No 5). <br>
This means they can pass Traffic at any time without needing to call the Talk Group from your radio.<br>
Just go to that Channel for the Static Talk Group in your radio and you will RX any traffic.<br>

You can only do a 4000 when no traffic is being received on the Talk Group you wish to leave.<br>
