Alright, so I’ve been going about this all wrong. Rx is 462.550 Tx is 467.550 Rx CTCSS OFF Tx CTCSS 88.5 Giving that a shot!

Thanks! Hahaha… She actually goes by Mrs.Cippy

Hey all! Still very new and trying to learn the ropes of amateur radio as a whole. I recently picked up the GMRS-PRO and have been trying to program and it and get it up and running. I have permission to use a local repeater and have programmed the channel into the radio as 462.550 on both Rx/Tx. Then I set the Rx/Tx subtones to CTCSS 88.5 for both. However, I don’t think my Tx is going through and hitting the repeater. I’m not getting a “krrchk” after keying on on that repeater. However, if I select the preprogrammed REPT15 on the radio, it sets Rx to 462.550 and Tx to 467.550. I do get a krrchk when I key the radio then (with or without the CTCSS tones programmed). Which is right? What am I doing wrong, cause I know I’m 100% doing something wrong.

Thanks for this info. I appreciate it.

Double post.

I just received my GMRS Pro yesterday. It seems to be alright, so far. I do like being able to add channels quickly via the app, but do wish there was some way to add/edit them on a computer (even if it was via CHIRP). My first of two gripes with it as of right now are that you can’t scan more than the 30 channels in your active group. I have a list of all GMRS channels plus some local businesses+HAM channels I like to scan/listen to, but now I’m being forced to narrow down the list to just a few. Maybe that’s good, maybe not. Right now, I don’t like it. Second complaint is that when in scan mode and it detects activity, I *think* it starts scanning again the moment the transmission ends, instead of waiting a few seconds for a reply. That’s causing me to miss out on some activity/replies. Maybe I’m wrong and both of these are completely possible. If that’s the case, please let me know.

Great, I'll give that a try.

New to GMRS in general and trying to hit two local repeaters (although -- one of which I believe is currently off). I'm entering them in Chirp and syncing it to a UV-9G. Does this look right to you? |

Hello from Pueblo! New to all of this scene and trying to learn as much as possible. I’ve tried to hit your repeater a few times @WRDA382but am not having any luck. Could be something I’m doing wrong! Any advice is appreciated
