I have two baofeng uv9g radios. I have programmed them both with the correct tones for all the repeaters in the area. I can transmit and receive on simplex between the two fine, and when using a repeater, I can work it just fine and talk and listen, but the other radio tuned to the same channel will not pick up that radio. Is there something I'm missing besides a more expensive radio?
I took them both to six flags in bowie maryland and on simplex channel 1 they worked perfectly. I can work Towson repeater from most everywhere I go, but when I'm on repeaters these radios don't communicate with themselves, and I'd really like them to for use with my wife as intended.
