do I have to use the repeater channels preprogrammed or can I use any channel?
Am I supposed to use tone or tsql ?Its easiest to start with the pre-programmed channels so you can see what they look like in CHIRP.. Once you figure that out you can then create your own new, custom channels.
Re Tone or TSql, i believe @SteveShannon already answered that question in your other post, and because he is an officially-recognized HERD, you should listen to what he says.

IIRC something like this will occur if you are using the 935G software instead of the software specifically for the 935G PLUS radio.. are you sure you are using the Plus version of the software and not the regular 935G software?
You can download it here: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/downloads/dl/file/id/1572/product/5920/wouxun_kg_935g_plus_programming_software.zip
If you are already using the correct software then my only other response is "this sounds like a Windows issue".

I actually can transmit in FREQ mode on the Wouxun, not on the Baofeng.
I stand corrected and you are correct - I just realized the same thing with my KG-905G PLUS radio..
It seems there is some leeway in interpreting the FCCs rules on radios that do not have a full keypad.

About 75 feet.
Try 100 feet and report back.

I removed the Rx tones from both radios (leaving the Tx tones set on both).
When I PTT on the Wouxun S88G, I get a second of two of static on both radios, but the message itself is not heard. Nothing seems to happen whent talking on the Baofeng UV9G.
How far apart are the radios when you are testing?
-
- You can't (should not be able to) transmit in "frequency mode" on either of those radios, so forget that idea*
- Try removing the receive/RX tones/codes from both radios
- Get the radios at least 50 feet apart when testing
- Report back with your results
*IF the radio has a full, numbered-keypad.

so it's like a mildly threatening QSL card?
Sir, this is a GMRS forum. GMRS people and normal people don't know what a QSL is.

Why?
- Because the reality of everyone being able to very quickly look-up where they live will hit them.
- and.. Because they would likely realize that anyone obsessive enough to look up their callsign, find their address, and write a letter for something so un-necessary is clearly a very socially unbalanced and possibly mentally-ill person.. that now knows where they sleep...

Jeezus...
Stop trying to over-complicate everything and use the damn fuses that came with it. -

And here it is.
Antennas are tuned to specific frequencies. When they’re used at frequencies other than those they’re tuned for, the results are usually bad. Also, the cable used for a CB antenna is usually very lossy at GMRS frequencies.
So, as Randy said, no.
That's only 3 paragraphs! Dont worry, the 10 paragraph answer will come.

Might be faster, cheaper and easier to just buy a new radio.

Yah, sounds like you bricked it.

so I ended up getting a Baofeng uv-5r
You bought the wrong radio. Because it is a H.A.M.s radio, it likely will not be able to transmit on GMRS frequencies.
IF it does transmit on GMRS, or IF you can get it unlocked, it is going to take multiple semi-complicated steps to program a repeater.. Good luck.
..you really did buy the wrong radio... UNLESS you bought the GMRS version, in which case if you did, you dont need to enter any frequenices - just pick the repeater channel, enter the TX tone, and talk..

I'm not sure what I'm missing. I know they have worked together in the past.
If they were working a few days ago, you changed nothing, and suddenly they aren't working, then you aren't missing anything - they have both gone defective..
OR ....You DID change something, you're on the wrong channels, or committing some other user-error.

How close are the radios to each other when you are testing?

Oh, my! That sounds serious!
Can you tell us more about what will happen if he (or anyone) makes a pest of themself?
