MJR346

Funny thing is, I'd love to put a repeater up in my area, but no place to put one high up that doesn't want $300/month rent. New Orleans and Baton Rouge have repeaters , funny is 600 in New Orleans, 650 on Northshore, and 700 in Livingston are only repeaters I hear traffic on. But do agree, rest of Louisiana basically has zero repeaters. However finding lots of ham radio clubs building GMRS repeaters for people to use as 3 in New Orleans area are run by ham clubs .

Thanks for come back, looking at the master copy I kept from his radio, I think i may know, even though most radios have functioned with difference. Had pulled the tones, but forgot to set my radio for narrow band (as I was testing on 462.5625 simplex) and maybe the radio wasn't picking up cause of the wide (even though I have run narrow over a wide repeater a few times) but didn't think about wide over a narrow signal. BTW this is from the file I took out as base line for the radio before I modified it, and only thing I could see was wide vs narrow. May have to try again later on again. Thanks all.. been using my uv5r as a licensed operator for years and gotten very familiar with it, but think I forgot differences. Anyway trying to get friend to go GMRS and buy radios where he can get more range for him and his wife so.. WRQD955

Had a friend ask me to make his Retrevis rt22frs radios compatible to talk to other brands of radios. I have a TIDradio Bluetooth programmer I use for my own radios and I removed all Tones from all channels. Then decided to test and found that the radio could talk to my uv5r but couldn't hear it back (simplex channel no tones- I'm a licensed user). And then couldn't talk to anyone else's radio till I restored it back to original. Wondering if anyone knows what is up?
