Having an RX tone will filter out all transmissions that don’t have that tone. 
Leaving the receiver tone out will allow you to receive everything transmitted on that frequency. 

Seems like they would be fine in China. That's where most of the come from anyway. 😁

You need to stack a few Yagis up and dump that wimpy dish.

Recent image of a group of college interns perfecting my new antenna....Comms will be crystal clear...And I'll be able to shoot down some of those pesky UFO's !.
Actually using Midland MXT275's with the stock magnetic antennas, pretty good comms (with repeaters) for my Lady and I....Upgrading to the MXTA26 antennas as soon as they arrive. 

Try creating a new folder in documents and save it under a different name. 

DCS is exactly the same as DPL. Motorola just called it DPL.
Change your radio so it transmits with 156N.
Leave tones off for receive until you know you have transmit set correctly. That way you’ll hear everything on that frequency. 

Yes, please do put up a repeater and hopefully it will cover the Beeville Area and the old Chase Field when I visit the area.
Most of the repeaters in Corpus Christi area are private only repeaters.
You might want to look into being a member of the Texas GMRS Club.

To be honest, I posted the image under "general discussion" because it wasn't specifically GMRS-related, but it had, among other things, radio content. I knew it would wander all over the forum map.

What would you like to do with it?  What did you have in mind when you bought it?
Do you have a buddy or family member who has a radio?
Are you hoping to get onto the airwaves so you can hear other people and then contact them?
Help us understand what you want to achieve. Someone is sure to have some helpful advice.
 
 

Who owns the repeater? Maybe they can help.

There are also 701G antennas. Better than a lot of stock antennas but not as long as the 771. Nagoya and Abbree both make a 771G but only Nagoya makes a 701G so far. They both make the 771 UV and 701 UV. I've tried both of those on a UV-5R GMRS and they both worked quite well. No doubt the G version will work better.

Marc Spaz is one of the nicest guys on these forums. He never beats his own chest or blows his own horn. And he does have some serious technical skills. 
So when someone who has been here for months attacks him as posting something that’s “not real” and does it in a way that simply reveals his own ignorance, it’s a chickenshit move. 
Then you doubled down on it as if you were somehow an expert. 
You owe Marc a sincere apology, not “got a little silly. Sorry folks.”
Learn from your mistakes and move on. Perhaps seek counseling. If you make an honest attempt at an apology and don’t act like that again the forum members will get over it quickly. 
But, I owe you an apology also. I made fun of your name. That was a cheap shot. It was mean-spirited of me and completely unacceptable. I apologize for that.

As an RF engineer who has designed receivers for over 10 years, I can say that SINAD is not a receiver metric. SINAD (Signal In Noise and Distortion) is a measurement parameter to which receiver performance is measured. dBm (dB-milliwatt) is far and away the most common receiver sensitivity metric in the RF design world. Sure FM broadcast receivers are measured in dBf, (dB FemtoWatt) but that is not typical elsewhere. Actually, in the receiver world, Noise Figure (F) is the best metric as that speaks to the RF front end without impacts from the audio circuitry, see below. 
To the person who posted dBm sensitivity measurements: Surely you used some proper RF service monitor to perform this measurement. May I ask what "weighting" you used on the audio? A or C weighted? it does make a subtle difference...
Hope this helps.
 

Was there ever really a question with this thread or a point to it? Was it just an excuse to engage in argument? Question might as well have been “hey you like that crap radio you got there”? 
Thank goodness for the ignored user setting. 
 

That's because there is nothing left to say.  All things are self-evident. 

@WSAK691 I have been sitting back reading and I've noticed that I don't have to share any pictures of anything because you have already shown us your ass.  You are gravely mistaken in believing anyone here, especially me, has anything to prove to you.
 
I don't care about your opinion. I'm fairly sure no one else here cares about your opinion.  With the exception of providing some mild and waning entertainment as you continue to show us your ass, your incessant posting is doing nothing beyond solidifying your place in purgatory of the internet. 

Maybe you will too, maybe not. I was casually researching how many guns were sold by state, and this image of a fully-equipped member of the Delaware Militia, including a Baofeng with a high-capacity antenna, showed up under their statistics.

Here is the set up.  I was able to TX and RX once I was closer to the repeater.  I haven't yet tried swapping antennas.  The UV-5R antenna does say, "AR-771 VHF/UHF" where the GM-5RH says "AR-771 GMRS".  

I might be wrong, but I think the cable grip's purpose in life is to hoist the coax up to you. You would use a different device to attach and support the coax on the mast.

Being a sad-H.A.M. is a mental/emotional-defect, not a test score/status. And while there is a very high correlation of sad-H.A.M.s having H.A.M. licenses, this does not prove causation.

Sorry to have to be the one to break this news to you but bragging about not being a ham BUT how easy it would be to pass the examS "if you wanted to" is a strong indicator of being a latent sad-H.A.M. .. Your other posts already proved you also fall into the "some people" category..
And as the inventor of the term Sad-H.A.M., my declaration is final and cannot be disputed or overturned.

@WRTC971 Welcome to GMRS.

Have been reading this forum for a bit prior to joining up. The info provided has been helpful! Have a MX115 and DB-25G. The MX115 is going to be used as a base, do to the simplicity of the unit for family members to use. Needing to gather the needed items to bring the base online. Have a couple of handhelds that will be used when traveling with others or around were we are at. (easier than a cell phone!) Thanks for having a place to share ideas and help!

My bet is on the offset but, yes, any one of those could be the problem.
