Newbie Repeater Config Problems

[WSCU408]

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?

1. You can't (should not be able to) transmit in "frequency mode" on either of those radios, so forget that idea
2. Try removing the receive/RX tones/codes from both radios
3. Get the radios at least 50 feet apart when testing
4. Report back with your results

I removed the Rx tones from both radios (leaving the Tx tones set on both). 

When I PTT on the Wouxun S88G,  I get a second of two of static on both radios, but the message itself is not heard. Nothing seems to happen whent talking on the Baofeng UV9G.

How far apart are the radios when you are testing?

[WSCU408]

About 75 feet.

Try 100 feet and report back.

Went 100ft... Still a no go.  However, after transmitting on Wouxun S88G, both radios picked up Morse code tones (station ID?).

So the repeater heard your transmission and gave a call sign.

Why would the other radio not receive my transmission?

Either because you have the wrong receive code (better to use none at first) or because your transmitter radio is causing the receiver radio to go deaf, which is called “desense.”
