offroadkid reacted to dosw in Able to hear my friend, but he can’t hear me?
Do you have a squelch tone programmed on your channel 2?
Anyway, if you're using your UV5G Plus in a vehicle you probably should get an adapter and a mag mounted antenna to get the most out of the radio.

Without the specific tone you will hear everyone in range. The purpose of the tone is to blank-out everyone except for who is using that specific tone.

If you really enjoy listening and monitoring frequencies you might really like an SDR. They are inexpensive, less than 50 dollars on amazon for a decent unit and can be used with your existing computer. With the right antennas you can listen to just about any channel. Branching out from the basics you can do some very interesting things, like receiving satellite imagery.
Enjoy the radio.

With the TSQL your sending tones up - now, since the repeater does not require them, it will ignore them, and still repeat.

you want the next in my list, the " - > Tone "

Some basics, most if not all GMRS repeaters have the + 5.000000 offset. You to the repeater would add that 5.0 to your outgoing freq, that way when its repeating it on 462.650, its not stepping on whats coming in.

Although for instance, if the local area had say, lots of interference or simplex on 462.65, tuning out the stuff as best as you can with the output tone in is a good idea if you just want repeater traffic.
So to set it exact, Tone Mode should be cross, Tone Squelch should be 136.5, Cross Mode should be ->Tone, duplex +, and Offset 5.000000

462.650 is your receive frequency. 467.650 would be your transmit frequency. You really do not need any CTCSS frequencies, so that should cover it. If you put in the receive CTCSS tone, it means that you would only hear the repeater, no other transmissions made by anyone else. That may make listening easier, but it is not needed to access and use the repeater.

offroadkid reacted to dosw in UV-5G Plus repeater programming
The Amazon listing for this item states: "Supports CHIRP programming (select "UV-5G Plus" under Radioddity.)"
That aligns with how you would also select the UV-5G (not Plus); it is listed in CHIRP under Radioddity instead of Baofeng.

Email from my gmrs. The owner may also email you directly. Some owners are busy and only check once a week or more. Some repeaters are still listed but the owners don’t keep up on my gmrs and are old listings.
