It is a Standard baofeng uv 5g, and the front key pad is the same as uv 5R. I want to be able to talk to repeaters, but the uv-5g will not let you add T-ctcs tones in the pre set 30 channels. I am wanting to now how to talk to repeaters, or a video explaining this on the GMRS baofeng uv5g and not the uv-5r

The Baofeng uv-5g will not let me add T-ctcs tones to the preset 30 channels.

Thanks, I have tried to find videos on youtube for this, but there is not any with only the baofeng uv5g. NotaRubicon has 1 w a different radio, but it says to save the C tones / numbers on ch 17, as the example was for ch 17 which would be Repeater ch 3 (ch 25). I spent 34 years talking on fire dept radios, but this gmrs thing is confusing to me. It is probably because I was gifted a uv5g and not a radio w all the keys.

I have my tone in and tone outs. I have been having problems w where to program my tone in / Cctcs. I can hear the guys on both ch 20 & repeater ch 6 (CH 28), but everthing I do I cant talk to them or get a conformation noise back. Do I add the C-CTCS in Ch 20 or Repeater Ch 6 (Ch 28), and do I talk to the repeater from Ch 20 or Repeater Ch 6 (Ch 28). My Baofeng uv5g radios were a gift and I have not ordered a cable to use chirp, so i am doing all from the keypad. Ready to be un Confackulated lol Roger Carper Roger03@aol.com
