I've purchased my first radio (Wouxun 905g) and, after doing a radio check, had success connecting to a repeater and making contact. But when I leave my radio on the repeater channel, I never hear anyone else transmitting. It wasn't until I did my radio check and cleared that I heard someone else begin a conversation with someone else. But since then, nothing. I know the usual answer is that there may not be traffic on the repeater, but given the location and range it has, I don't think that's the case. Does anyone know if I need to do something specific to open up the repeater and listen for others? One post I saw said some radios need you to push the menu button or something to get connected, open the repeater, and hear the transmissions.
Thanks!
