I used an input of 147.915 Mhz + PL 107.2.  I waited for a few minutes but did not get a response.  I'm using a Motorola HTX 202 and programmed the memory with the repeater output frequency and PL and set it to T-SQL.  When I do so, the repeater output frequency cut out. Does anyone have any experience with this radio? Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds as though you may want to leave the 107.2 PL on the TX 
frequency, but set your RX to carrier squelch.  The repeater likely 
strips the PL on its output.
