I attached screenshots of errors when installing and using KG-UV9G software 64-bit.

 

I didn't have this on my chirp, i am looking into it. Did you have to download a certain file for these options?

Here's a link to an SWR/Power meter that will help you test your antenna https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dmn-sx40c

 

The less reflected power you have the better...

 

Good Luck,

Hello!  The radio I was using had a static antenna. If only I knew then what I know now. Which isn't much.  HAHA

It's probably some ridiculous courtesy tone. SWR issue shouldn't affect that. If the repeater just sends its CWID all the time but nobody actually uses the repeater, there's probably nobody to talk to using it anyways; it wouldn't surprise me if the owner doesn't watch it either.

Good to know, thank you!

 By, "sent a message" do you mean you transmitted from your radio and spoke your call sign? Or, did you do something else?

Hello! It was a while back but thanks for your reply.  Using Morse code, I saved my call sign into a recorder then played it back while keyed. I suppose I sholdn't be trying to talk to a computer anyways. HAHA!!

I have monitored the channel for an hour and have not heard anything on it. I have keyed up and get full bars on key, given my call sign and requested  radio check and got no response.Years ago i had equipment to test CB's but I don't have anyway to check output now. I cannot find anybody local that works on GMRS. My problem is, I don't know if I am actually Rx or TX ing. I may have to invest in some test equipment. Thanks for you input and I will try to email the owner to see if the repeater is up and running.

 

Hello, ive been monitoring  a repeater tower in a neighboring town. it sends a morse code transmission with it's callsign every half hour. I sent a message to the tower with my callsign and it sent back a loud siren almost like a police siren. I hope I didn't make anyone mad. Also contacted the operator days prior with no response.
