WSCU408

I tried hitting the repeater with both HTs again during the Sky-Watch net. It seems the Wouxun was able to reach the repeater, as I successfully checked in. The Baofeng, however, appears to be receiving some noise but doesn't seem able to transmit to the repeater. I tried switching the antennas, but that didn’t help. Both radios can communicate with each other on simplex just fine.

I was not trying to correct. I know nothing (can't even connect to a repeater without help). You are, "The Queen of GMRS". Love your content.

Thanks for your help gents! I was able to hit the repeater last night on the Wouxun KGS-88G. I joined the repeaters weekly net to verify. The repeater's owner told me that the Baofeng radios have two separate lists of DCS codes, one is "inverted" (don't know what that means, yet) and the repeater uses the non-inverted code. I will test it out tonight on the local Skywatch net that uses the same repeater.

I actually can transmit in FREQ mode on the Wouxun, not on the Baofeng.

No. It seems like these tones are just transmitted every 15 minutes. I just happened to coincide with my test.

Why would the other radio not receive my transmission?

Went 100ft... Still a no go. However, after transmitting on Wouxun S88G, both radios picked up Morse code tones (station ID?).

About 75 feet.

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.

I have been using my radios in simplex mode for about a year now with no issues. I now have reason to use a local repeater that I have been granted access to. To verify it is working I am using two radios ( a Wouxun KGS-88G and a Baofeng UV-9G). These radios are used to talk to each other in simplex mode whenever we are out and about fishing or hiking. I have tried using channel mode (Repeater 16) on both and entering the given DCS . I have also tried Freq mode by entering 462.575 as wll as the DCS code for both Tx and Rx. The 88G seems to transmit as I see the frequency change to 467.575 when I PTT the UV9G will indicate it has an Rx signal when monitoring 467.575 via frequency mode, but I hear nothing (squelched out?). What am I doing wrong?
