Newbie Repeater Config Problems

[WSCU408]

Copied to Technical Forum (sorry for the misplace).

I have been using my radios in simplex mode for about a year now with no issues.  I now have reason to use a local repeater that I have been granted access to.  To verify it is working I am using two radios ( a Wouxun KGS-88G and a Baofeng UV-9G).  These radios are used to talk to each other in simplex mode whenever we are out and about fishing or hiking.

I have tried using channel mode (Repeater 16) on both and entering the given DCS .  I have also tried Freq mode by entering 462.575 as wll as the DCS code for both Tx and Rx.

The 88G seems to transmit as I see the frequency change to 467.575 when I PTT the UV9G will indicate it has an Rx signal when monitoring 467.575 via frequency mode, but I hear nothing (squelched out?).  

What am I doing wrong?

Try leaving DCS empty on the receive side and make sure you keep the transmitting radio some distance away from the receiving radio.
