I use the Radioddity software for the GM-30. Turns out I did find a fix for this issue (sorta). I was using and older version of the program, if you get the new one and look at the channels it defaults to (don’t read from the radio), the DIY channels are fixed so you get 3 more opportunities for repeaters per channel. However, the rest are still monitor only….

So ran into something interesting when attempting to program the Baofeng GM-15 Pro on a local repeater channel. Spent a long time thinking it was my configuration but turns out that my unit is transmission locked on any custom channel. If I configure a factory channel with the same settings it works as expected. Wondering if anyone figured a way around this? Don’t see the point of having the ability for many channels if you can’t use them? I would prefer to leave the standard channels as default and just manually add any repeater I wish. Especially if I travel and end up with a repeater on the same frequency but different tone and not want to constantly edit. Seems like a flaw in the design.
