I really appreciate you helping me. It will be no problem if I have to do a reset - I just love Chirp and have everything backed up. =) I usually am in the mode where can see the name of the channel. So, at your advice I double checked - So, when I look at the frequency before PTT it is 462.55000 when I push the PTT it is 467.55000. So, I'll give it one more go for your advice and then do the factory reset. It's just so strange I just copied and pasted the files in chirp in the the Radioditty UV-5G Plus and it works like a charm. Hmmmm - Thank you again for your patience. I really appreciate you helping me. I miss that repeater

Wow, this is also very helpful, Ill try all these suggestions, thank you for helping me Ok, I just did all these things - here is the report No R is appearing next to W+. When press PTT [after pressing mode three times I see 462.7000]

I hope some can help me. Below are Chirp files below. Wouxun KG-935 G Radioditty UV-5G Plus

I have had the exact same problem - a local repeater is working on all my other GMRS radios except the 935G [this problem has been going on for two years]. Are those the settings I need to have to fix the problem. I just did a test and the repeater with 462 worked great on my other radios except the 935G. I was actually considering a factory reset and that is how I found this thread.

Ok thank you so much!! Below is my mobile set up for UHF/VHF/GMRS https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/CMA-CA-2X4SR and https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/DMN-K702M Last week confirmed with DX Engineering that my Diamond X50 will work on GMRS - right now that bad boy is SWR 1 perfect we tested it on a rig expert and that device I was asking about - I just want to key up on my GMRS radios to be sure - hence the original question [key up on my mobile set up and my Diamond X50]. I'll check out your recs, always like to have a couple antennas - the Diamond X50 has survived tornadoes, ice storms and still working like a charm! My friend's comet works great ! I run HF, UHF, VHF, GMRS, and wanted to give CB a little try. I have a CB dipole to deploy and looking for something low key for mobile. Also taking a crack at CW via Long Island CW club. When we get these flood events, never hurts to have multiple modalities of communication. I find GMRS operators are so much fun and we have lots of repeaters popping up in Texas. I really have to thank Randy for his videos - that is what got me into GMRS. Have a Blessed Sunday WRXP381 Best, LMC

YES, I agree - the only antennas I tune are my HF inverted vee and EFHW. I just want to be safe before I key up and not fry my rigs/hand held. Just a precaution, not an artistic project Speaking of CB - which antenna do you rec for mobile - maybe something rather low profile? Thanks for your help! Ok, so it really does not matter if it is UHF or Type N - this is good to know. All my coax is UHF.

Good Afternoon, Which one is better for GMRS & UHF/VHF This one - my friend used his to test my Diamond X50 and confirmed its reading with a rig expert https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D86IKIQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A263LSCPZJCHO0&psc=1 [type N connectors] Or this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7QPXEY/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A263LSCPZJCHO0&psc=1 [SO239] Is there a benefit to the type N - clearly the So239 would be easier. OR, do you have another recommendation. This would be for GMRS and UHF/VHF. I am noting these do not come with a ground plane dang it - I wanted to test the dual band Signal Stuff antenna for GMRS. Anyone ever do a try with the Signal Stuff dual band for GMRS? I have a rig expert for HF. Thank you in advanced for your help! Texas is starting to get the GMRS popularity and it is great to see!! Also I cannot seem to find a BNC connector version which is in stock for the Nagoya NA-771G. Any ideas? Best, LMC

Or, more specifically (1) can we do this (2) how would we do this.....Im having an "ah-ha" moment. So, in essence only individuals can obtain GMRS license and not governmental entities. Correct?

We have a couple of locations that the city controls. The city is willing to work with a group of involved citizens to put up a repeater. So, how would we do this?? Could a club or a group fo citizens who want to be proactive for emergency communications {in our situation flash flood alley in Texas] work with the city under FCC guidelines? Maybe these specifics will help y'all help me get this repeater up. Thank you to all for your help on this question. The grandfathering notion does not apply to our situation.

So, there is nothing that prohibits a governmental entity from putting up a repeater ... correct? If it is for citizens to have weekly nets to practice for emergencies such as in mine with floods or occasional winter freezes which nock out everything including phone communication. The public would request permission for the tones to access the repeater.

This thread helped me so much! I had successfully programmed my radio by hand and then for then with the KG-935G Chirp suddenly became compatible. Well then with Chirp I did something wonky. I just hit a repeater near my hometown and am just so excited. However, lesson learned know how to program by hand and also, bonus Chirp! Thank you again for this thread!!! On to programming and testing!

All of these responses are very helpful. Thank you!!! So, I guess this begs the question, is there a workflow document somewhere for us to install install our own repeater? Im noticing the GMRS repeaters seem to be connected. Ive been focusing on my ham skills and am now switching back to learning GMRS. Goal: We want to be able to communicate across our community if we get another ice storm here in Texas and the phone lines go down again. Thank you again to all who are helping me!

Yes, that is why we are looking into establishing GMRS in our community! It would provide an added modality of communication for citizens who do not have the time to invest to study and pass the ham test. I really appreciate all the help on my question. Still reading thru all the comments.

Can someone point me in the direction of where this information might be or examples of governmental entity GMRS repeaters. Thank you!
