I've had a talkpod a36 for a week and fought through programming first on talkpod software, then chirp. I still can't open repeaters even though I've tried several times with this radio and the second replacement radio. I corrected the offset in chirp to be 5mhz, not the 3mhz it was factory programmed with. So far the best I've done is get static out of the repeater after my end of transmission. I was not able to get any audio through the repeater. Any thoughts?
