The charger. Is the radio turned off during the interference?

Based on the scope described in the original post I understand that this would be strictly emergency, which implies short duration. People wouldn’t be chatting on it. If it were me I’d do an APRS beacon with a canned message rather than a repeater, but it could simply be a simplex repeater.

I’d never use a battery that big for a 100 mw repeater intended to fly in a balloon for a short time in emergency situations. I’d use something like an 1800 mah battery.

Replace the Tone Squelch column with the frequency shown in the “input tone” on the MyGMRS page and change mode from NFM to wide and you should be good.

Butte, no repeater yet but a guy just bought. Retevis 97s

I could see that being done using hardware similar to a DMR hotspot. It would be very low power and capable of running for a long time on a lightweight LiFePO4 battery. It would be fun to try, anyway.

Contact the Chirp developer. For whatever reason Chirp is expecting something different than it is receiving. That’s not the kiss of death while reading, but if you turn around and write something to memory that doesn’t match you could end up with unexpected results, including possibly bricking your radio. Or just use the factory software in Parallels.

But does the official copy of your license? That’s what matters. Edited to add: I just looked up my license and under waivers and conditions it no longer mentions Line A or C.

That link I posted has both pieces, for the antenna and the radio, for both genders combinations. But I’ll point out just once that most people don’t add an adapter to the very cheap antennas Baofeng attaches to their radios. They buy the BNC adapter so they can use a better quality antenna that comes with a BNC connector.

Make sure you’re on the top level (mygmrs.com) rather than at the forums level (forums.mygmrs.com)

Go to your account and look at Subscriptions.

I think it is, but order it and see.

1. It's needed for transmit. You can always leave the tone for receive blank. 2. You might hear a courtesy beep from the repeater right after you cease transmitting, or even an occasional ID. The best way is to ask someone for a radio check. Or give your second radio to someone and have them go a little ways away and listen. 3. Your presumption is correct. Welcome to the forum.

You’re right.

Excuse me? You mean St. Steven’s Day?

I worked with a bunch of utility drafters for a few years. Every one of them had their caps lock turned on 24/7 be. I had to adjust my thinking. They were one of the best bunch of people I’ve ever worked with.

Welcome and happy new year!

Aww shucks… So what’s next? Are you able to hear any traffic from the repeater? If you’re in range and you don’t have a receive tone set you should be able to hear the repeater when others talk.

Sometimes it’s difficult. No problem.

You might be going through the repeater or you’re really close to a high powered transmitter with a very inexpensive receiver that doesn’t have great filtering or selectivity. Your Baofeng might just be breaking squelch because it is so close, similar to desensing. Give the Baofeng to someone to take it a couple houses away and see if it still happens. Bottom line I think that’s just because it’s so close, not that your Wouxun is transmitting on the same frequency. But I could easily be mistaken. As a second test, try talking into the Wouxun while a friend listens on the Baofeng. Try listening with the Baofeng set to receive 467.xxx.

Do this: And then this: Or select a repeater to look at its information and then scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the map (on a phone).

Uncheck the proximity search. Go into advanced and select your state.

What problems are you having in programming? Are you unable to write to the radio? Does what you have written not work for the repeater? We need detailed information. I see you’ve tried every possible software. As Randy said, post your configuration file so we can look at it. I recommend posting either the factory software or chirp software file because more of us can examine them compared to the RT Systems file, but you could post all three. Happy New Year!

Hi Matt, Before you give up, there are a couple things you can do so we can see what’s happening and possibly understand why. 1. Post a copy of your configuration file so we can look at it. 2. Video record and post the display of your radio while it’s behaving like you say. That will show us whether the radio is transmitting with an offset or possibly other unexpected behavior. I was transmitting on A and receiving on the B channel once without knowing it and I didn’t immediately understand what I was doing. People here really do want to help but as you have explained it the logic is puzzling. That doesn’t make you an idiot. I help a blind-deaf friend who lives in California. I help him program his ham radios. (He’s not totally deaf; he has hearing aids that work with his ham radios.) Sometimes we have to use FaceTime to figure out what the screen is showing him. Touchscreens are a real special level of hell when they’re on a different screen than he expects. In any event, happy new year! Steve
