As with most people who post on here...I'm newish to GMRS.
I've got 2 baofeng UV9Gs and I am able to quite easily program them using CHIRP. I can get them to talk to one another, I can program "Privacy" tones, (and have proven that they filter out noise on the open channels).
I have tried to connect to a couple local repeaters without success. I feel like I must be doing something wrong with the input in CHIRP. When I attempt to transmit on the repeater channels, the other HT shows that I am transmitting, but no sound is produced.
This is the info from the owner of the repeater (I am confident that the frequency of the repeater is correct):
"The transmit tone for your radio for the repeater is transmit to the repeater DCS 226N and receive from the repeater DCS 662N."
I have attached a picture from CHIRP. The repeater that I am specifically trying to hit is the second one, as it is <4 miles from my house.
Difficulty with non-simplex channels - repeaters or HT?
