Everyone, thanks for taking a look at my question.
I know I have two UV-5R ours. One “GMSR“ version and a F8-HP version. I have been able to get both of them to interact with my troop software. I watch most of Randy’s “not a Rubicon“ YouTube videos. They have been very helpful.
I have a few local repeaters and have set up the tones and save channels in chirp and uploaded them to both radios. I am able to “connect“ I believe at different locations. When could junking the repeaters, I get a strong tail return each time on both. when trying to transmit and listen, I have never heard any voice go through or anyone else transmitting on the repeater. Not sure if I missed something on the set up.
The local repeaters name is SLO C.E.R.T. -725 G SR, Templeton, California
The frequency is 462.725 MHz. The out and input tones are 141.3 MHz. The repeater type is open system.
I am a chip software. I have it set up as; frequency 462.725000. Tone mode TSQL and tone squelch 141.3. Duplex is a +5.00000. Mode is FM power is high.
any ideas why I would be hearing, took a chunk reply, but not being able to transmit any voice through the repeater.
Thanks for all your help
Tony
