That would be very kind, thank you. Here are the details.

Very informative. Thank you.

Interesting. So if I understand correctly, what you are postulating is that while I was using the input tone for said repeater that is listed here on mygmrs.com. It is likely that the net members were simultaneously using a separate tone/set of tones for their communication, and because of this the operator was able to hear all tones (net members & myself), while the other members were only being fed or receiving their respective tone?

WRYZ926 Thank you, My house is a 2-story, surrounded closely on all sides by other 2-stories, so I'm going to try a few transmissions from atop the roof as i understand height is might. Should my location require a much larger antenna then so it shall be. Appreciate it.

Hey thanks! I have just received and installed a Nagoya NA-771G and attempted a series of unsuccessful radio checks on the same repeater. However, I will try again from a higher location nearby soon. Will also try to hear my own transmission by placing my radios further away from one another. Thanks for the tips. subscribed to and love your videos btw.

Hello, I'm new to GMRS. I recently purchased a UV5G plus and obtained my GMRS license. I'm also awaiting a club membership approval to access the private repeaters here locally. There is 1 public repeater within potential range of my house. This repeater has an input tone, but no output tone. I programmed the input tone into the t-ctcss settings of my radio and am able to get a "kerchunk" back from the repeater. There was a net taking place on this repeater the other day and I transmitted a check in. The host asked me to repeat my check in and replied that I was barely able to make it in, however he copied. (i presume because of the distance, terrain, etc.) I was happy to hear I could make the tx, albeit weak. However, the other users on the net then chimed in and commented that they were not able to hear my transmission. One user speculated that TX must've been simplex. My question is: What would be the cause of something like this? I can reach a repeater however my tx is not repeated. would this be a lack of power issue on my end? Perhaps my tx was so weak it was blocked by the other users squelch settings? I should note that i have tried listening in to my own radio check tx's on another gmrs handheld of mine on the correct frequency and cannot hear my own voice, although both of my radios receive the "kerchunk" Thank you in advance!!!
