yes...i have a speaker/mic...and still nothing ...i also have a baofeng uv5rx3 and it works as it should...with the colors on transmit, receive, and standby...so they are set right... it just baffles me...as i have seen videos of them doing a reset...by holding ptt...monitor...and # key and turning on...and it says factory in display...but mine just turns on... and like i said...i reached out to support...and they told me they checked out the radio and it works fine...that its user error...but by my accounts i have done everything right as far as programming...i have programmed by chirp...and by manual key in...and no transmit...i have even seen where the crack open the radio and do one solder joint to fix a transmit problem...i havent done that yet...but just may just frustrating...

the uv82hp...according to settings...the display changes color when receiving...transmitting...and on standby...the color never changes...never any kerchunks when trying to hit a repeater...but if you look on youtube...i see others have had same problem...but they say to reset radio by holding ptt...monitor...# key and turning on at same time...and display says factory...mine never does... i feel like i am just missing something...some setting...something...just looking to see if anyone else has this radio and had a similar problem any help is appreciated...

I REALIZE THIS...I HAVE TRIED HAM FREQUENCIES AS WELL...I AM BOTH HAM AND GMRS...WAS JUST TRYING TO SEE IF I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG ON MY END... I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BTECH GMRS2..AND IT WOULD NOT RECEIVE...SENT IT BACK AND GOT A 2ND ONE...WOULDNT RECEIVE EITHER...THEN THEY SENT ME THIS UV82HP...IT WONT TRANSMIT...I HAVE GM30..IT WORKS JUST FINE. CANT SEEM TO GET THE UV82HP TO TRANSMIT ON ANY FREQUENCY...IT RECEIVES JUST FINE... THANKS

LOOKING FOR SOME HELP... I RECENTLY PURCHASED A BTECH GMR2 AND HAD TO SEND IT BACK TWICE FOR NO RECEIVE...THEN I ASKED FOR A BAOFENG UV82HP...GOT IT IN AND I CANNOT GET IT TO TRANSMIT IN SIMPLEX OR TO A REPEATER...I ASKED TO SEND IT BACK...AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT TESTED FINE...AND IT WAS USER ERROR...I HAVE READ THE MANUAL...CHECKED THE PROGRAMMING..ALL I CAN GET IT TO DO IT BEEP...WONT TRANSMIT AT ALL...I HAVE WATCHED SOME VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE ABOUT IT NEEDING TO BE RESET...TRIED THAT BUT UNIT DOESNT RESPOND LIKE THE VIDEO...I AM AT A LOSS BECAUSE I GET NOTHING...SIMPLEX OR REPEATER... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG...ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKS BRIAN WRNQ656 KI5BGH

are you saying that i can program my rugged gmrs2 with the radioddity gm15 software...i have tried to program it with chirp and no luck..i even tried the radioddity gm30 software...no luck...i reached out to rugged...and they told me their software is proprietary to them only...only to be sent to rt systems to buy the software for $49 for software and cable...crazy prices...thanks for any help

quick question...when you say deaf....does that mean damage to radio...or just temporary deafness....i have taken the btech radio on some trips...and essentially had zero noise...nothing...maybe there was no traffic...but i have tried all sorts of local channels to those areas...and still nothing...just wondering if i permanently damaged radio...its just crazy how i have zero traffic...unless its simplex...but my rugged radio hears all kinds of chatter on repeaters..thanks for all your help Brian

thank you...will give this a try Brian

thanks for the answers...i tried this briefly tonight...minus 1 exception...i had radios only about 5 feet apart... if i try simplex on gmrs channel 1...i can talk radio to radio...with no codes...if i put in some codes...even if they are wrong...i can still talk radio to radio...kinda weird... i go to a repeater channel 17 with codes...in both radios...i hear nothing ...i know i am hitting repeater...i hear the tail squawk...my rugged radio is basically pre-programmed...only thing i can change is codes...cant change any frequencies...without their software and their cables..(which i do not have) so i can only change codes based off of a chart...( to match them)...i know rugged radio is working ok...i can hear and talk...(it only seems to be stuck in narrow band only)...i have had communication with it and have gotten audio is a little low... but with btech gmrs v2...i have gotten great audio results...just cannot hear anything...i even took it with me on a trip to shreveport to try a completely different area...and still nothing...i sent this radio back and they sent me another one...and i cant fathom that both are bad...i have even tried a mag mount antenna on my truck...and funny thing is...when i came home today...and was parked in my driveway...and unhooking the mobile antenna...it has a pl 259 on mag mount...and i have an adapater for a so239 on one end..and nmo on the other...i actually heard some conversations...as i was taking the antenna off..and adapter was barely in the radio... which leads me to trying a tiger tail...or maybe even grounding the antenna to a bolt on radio... i am just at a total loss here... would even be willing to meet up with anyone in the dallas/ft worth area so they can throw their knowledge at it...any takers??? getting desperate here...lol thanks for anyones help... Brian

did you ever have any receive problems...i cannot get any receive out of my btech gmrs v2...sent it back and got a 2nd one...still same problems...just curious how you fixed yours Brian

i have tried both ways...if you look in chirp file...channel 25 and channel 101 are the same...except for the tone or tsql... i have sent this radio back to btech...and just got it back...cant imagine that both radios are faulty... i have even tried stock antenna....and nagoya 771g...even thought my house may be in a dead space...so i have taken a walk...and nothing...i know there was radio traffic...because i brought along my rugged radio gmr2...and could hear chatter...but nothing on btech... has me baffled... Brian

good afternoon... fairly new to gmrs...bought a btech gmrs v2...everyone says i am loud and clear...and i can hit local repeaters...my trouble is that i cant hear on it...no receive at all...the main repeater channel that i am on is 462.600 +5.0 tone 141.3 i have tried tx tone and rx tone...have no luck any which way... i also have a rugged radio gmr2...and can talk and receive on the above repeater just fine..although i have been told audio is on the quiet side...i did learn that rugged radios gmr2 is proprietary programming...meaning no chirp for it...have to send back to rugged to get programmed...or buy their software and cable for $50...seems steep to me for it i have attached a copy of my chirp file for anyone to review...for the btech... thanks for any help 73's Brian BTECH_GMRS-V2_20220824-2.img
