When you are lost/stuck in the middle of nowhere and trying to get help, knowing your coordinates can be very helpful. -

The butt-prints smell fresh so your story checks out.
-
I dont publish the actual/*exact* elevation of my repeater antenna because its connected to my house and knowing its exact elevation would make it easier for all the mentally-ill people that send me threats to locate it.
-
Interfering with police/emergency communications violates criminal law and is a police matter, very unlike violating FCC Rules.
-
Except that they dont.
-
So you have two radios, neither of which can transmit to that repeater... So, its very simple: Tone is wrong Channel/frequency is wrong You're too far from the repeater Repeater is offline I'm out.
-
ok.. so you have NOT confirmed the tone is correct.. CHIRP looks good to me, but see what the experts have to say. Have you ever tested your radio with a power meter?
-
Have you confirmed that the Transmit tone is correct for the repeater?
-
what channel NUMBER is it? and, what, exactly happens when you transmit?
-
Fine... I'll allow it.. Mr @WSFM218 please provide an update!
-
Those both fall squarely under item #1 of my list.. He has a GMRS radio, and obviously he is a n00b so the mention of "offset" is unnecessary and only adds to his confusion.
-
There are only 3 possibilities: You're on the wrong channel You've entered the wrong code(s) You're too far from the repeater The repeater is no longer online

No, that's the Mesa Crest group.. They speak English..

Exactly! Because this advice is WRONG!! To "get caught" someone must first be looking for you.. and for someone to go looking for you, they must first care... TL;dr: You can't get caught by the FCC because the FCC isn't looking for you because the FCC does not care. SOURCE: The record of enforcements over the last 15 years as reported in the FCC's public enforcement database
