The issue you have is what channel/frequency and tone your repeater is set for. Once you know that, setting the mobile and HTs to use the right tone is a trivial matter, able to be set on the keypad.
Reminder, the radios are all pre-programmed for every frequency, it is the repeater that is the wild-card.
