Troubleshooting feedback: I was able to get my Radioddity GM-30 Plus working successfully with the Mobile 675 * repeater in Mobile, AL: Home to GCR 675 - RPT - Mobile, AL = 16.85 mi (27.12 km) Frequency: 462.675/467.675 MHz Output Tone: 141.3 Hz /Input Tone: 141.3 Hz / Estimated Range: 50 Miles On my first try, the radios worked 284.02 ft (86.57 m) apart; on the second attempt, they connected at a distance of 1.68 mi (2.71 km). Both tests were done using a small antenna. However, I’m still trying to understand why the other repeaters didn’t work, despite being within the coverage area for GCR 550 Spanish Fort and GCR 650 Fairhope. Could a Baofeng UV-5G Plus offer a stronger signal and better performance?

Sure, I'll proceed with these tests. Thanks!

At 20 feet (6 meters), I watched your video about the radios' distance on YouTube and can try increasing the distance. How about 100 feet (30 meters)? Thank you

My two GMRS radios can connect to the repeater and communicate with other users, but they cannot hear each other. Even when I took both radios 100 meters from the repeater, they still couldn't hear each other. Both radios are identical, and I used the programming software to update them with the same settings. I have even replaced my radios, thinking that might resolve the issue. · Radioddity GM-30 Plus GMRS Radio (current one) Here are my channels 23 to 30 settings which I got permission for: Channel Frequency Name Tone 23 462.5500 / 467.5500 RPT-1 GCR 550 Spanish Fort 141.3 Hz / 141.3 Hz 24 462.5750 / 467.5750 RPT-2 GCR 575 Semmes 100 / 100 Hz 25 462.6000 / 467.6000 RPT-3 GCR 600 Perdido Beach 141.3 Hz / 141.3 Hz 26 462.6250 / 467.6250 RPT-4 GCR 625 BAY MINET 141.3 Hz / 141.3 Hz 27 462.6500 / 467.6500 RPT-5 GCR 650 Fairhope 67.0 Hz / 67.0 Hz 28 462.6750 / 467.6750 RPT-6 GCR 725 New Orleans 141.3 Hz / 141.3 Hz 29 462.7000 / 467.7000 RPT-7 Spanish Fort Hgh School 141.3 Hz / 141.3 Hz 30 462.7250 / 467.7250 RPT-8 GCR 725 Theodore, Al 141.3 Hz / 141.3 Hz I appreciate any suggestions you may have.
