Okay so I was a bit tired when I saw your post last night and in retrospect felt I could have done more to help... Here is a screen shot of a typical Chirp Repeater set up on your radio using the same input and output tones. Also you may find this info on Chirp tone programming is helpful. https://wiki.radioreference.com/images/0/0a/CHIRP_tone_programming.pdf

I like PCRADIO’s suggestion of getting on the roof to test things out. It also looks like some repeaters in your area that you may be able to do a comparison with.

What frequency are you trying to put in? Where in the radio (what channel space) are you putting it? Are you in channel mode when you are trying to tx. I have found Chirp is easier to use to program the radio. I like being able to see all the info on a page before me. You need to be in channel mode to tx and it needs to be a GMRS frequency and in the 1-54 channels. 23-54 are pre set for repeaters with +5 offset but that can be changed.

Nice! Merry Christmas! ?

I am intrigued! I will be tuning in to see how the mystery turns out… Merry Christmas, happy holidays and thank you, you my favorite YouTuber. ?

Nailed it! MURS/GMRS = GMURS? No better yet MUGRS! ? sorry I’ll show myself out ?

Nope.

I guess if you really wanted a Retevis 40w repeater you could add their amplifier to their RT97. They say it's compatable. Non affiliated link below... https://www.retevissolutions.com/rt91-amplifier#A9132A.

Not anymore it doesn’t. Cobra had one too. It’s also gone. I believe some rule changes with the FCC prevented this from continuing.

Ahhhh man, they were there a second ago... Wrong Rack ?

?I think we can all relate to that.

I couldn’t help but see the humor here?

https://www.walmart.com/search?q=murs radio&typeahead=murs Well it seems if you drag it to files it turns it into a webloc, or at least it did for me but not if I drag it straight to text. It didn't matter which browser I used... I also was annoyed and I did it ?

Sorry about that, I don't know why it did that because it was a copy paste. I was just as surprised as you.

You may want to read this thread too. It may take a bit longer. It all depends on when the FCC adds your new license to the data bank that is used by this site to update. In the meantime welcome. ?

and yet...Radioddity MU-5 MURS Radio, License Free Two-Way Radio Rechargeable, Display Sync for Industrial Bus….webloc

No worries, I wasn’t bothered. My thanks was sincere. I may have been wrong about the antenna. I would have just given you a “like” but I guess I was heavy handed with those today and mygmrs has said my cup is empty ?

My bad, thanks. ?

It looks like double threads with the same name here... one in equipment reviews

The Nagoya UT72 is duel band, not sure what antenna your rubber stock is but if it's tuned to GMRS specifically it would likely be better. Also and others here may elaborate more on this but my understanding is more isn't always better. If you drove as you say to the repeater and are putting out 40 watts I think you may be over shooting it. Don't use a 3 wood when a putter is what you need so to speak. I don't have any experience with the amp so this is just my thinking.

Okay, I think that makes sense to me. I’m guessing that’s because you would be able to receive the same input audio (frequency) as the repeater.?

I didn't notice this myself when I posted as I was posting the info on the same page relevant to OP's question about FM. I don't have that radio but your observation did get me wondering about my Baofeng UV-9G and sure enough the reverse frequency function is in the manual however it is locked down in the UV-9G. Looks like it is one of the things in the manual that it doesn't really do and is a feature in the Ham version of the radio (the GT-3WP) where it does work. So it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't work on the GMRS V2 as it looks like it is a gmrs version of the UV-82.

also this...

Well I guess I should have used smaller images... or just links. Sorry for the enormity of those ?
