I checked on the receiver tones for the BTECH UV 25, in chirp I have tone mode set to TSQL and the tone squelch set to 67.0. this matches the repeater channel. It looks like when using TSQL as a tone mode it sets both rx and TX to the same tone squelch. I don't think that the repeater program software will let change the tone mode to DTCS.

I think the problem is with the radio since the other 8 worked well. I will double check the receive tones in the UV 25. Thank you

Yes +5. , Thank you for catching that. The low level signal and noise that begins after releasing the PTT will continue indefinitely until I transmit to the repeater channel with a different radio. The noise is does not sound like squelch it is more of a buzzing sound. It only occurs when Transmitting with the UV 25, other radios I have tested do not result in the same feedback loop after transmission. Thanks

Thanks for the response Jay, So I must have the the repeater Frequency, + .5 offset and tone programmed correctly because I can transmit and receive thru the repeater with the UV 25. Any idea what could be causing the static loop that occurs after I transmit to the repeater. I can send one transmission and as soon as I release the PTT the static buzzing occurs and the UV 25 display shows a lower power receive signal that is in sync with the noise. I have tried Transmitting at both high and low power on the UV 25 and I still get the same noise loop after a single transmission?

I was trying to ask if the repeater would allow the UV 25 to transmit and receive a repeater channel if I had the offset programed wrong? Sounds like a dumb question now.

I am very new to GMRS, Today I set up an RT97S GMRS repeater and programed in some squelch tones on repeater channel 15. I programed the repeater tone into all my other radios and began to test them. 1 of the 8 radios I tested was not working correctly. The radio is a BTECH UV 25x4 mobile that I have set up as a portable base station. I can receive and transmit on all the GMRS channels just fine save for the repeater channels. This is what happens: The UV 25 can receive calls thru the repeater channel just fine, when I transmit from the UV 25 to the rt97 I get the tail squelch indicating that I have connected to the repeater and then it just goes into this looping static buzz. When buzzing the radio shows that it is receiving at a low signal. The sound will stop and the channel will reset if I change channels or if I key up the repeater channel from a different radio. I got this static loop when testing with repeater and mobile in the same house as well as when I tested them 2 miles apart and got the same noise. If my TX and RX and + - .5000 offset is incorrect would I still be able to connect with the repeater? Any insight would be much appreciated!
