Can't seem to connect to repeater

[WRFH675]

I'm trying to access this repeater:

https://mygmrs.com/view?id=3641

 

I have the B-Tech GMRS-V1 and do the following:

Turn to channel 26, which is the repeater channel for 18. 462.625.

 

I input 141.3 under both R-CTCS and R-CTCS.

 

I verify SFT-D is set to plus +.

 

I try to key up but can't hear anything on my other radio. I do hear all day long many others talking on this channel.

 

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I appreciate the reply but I don't understand what you're trying to say.

I appreciate the reply but I don't understand what you're trying to say.

You should have RX CTCSS and TX CTCSS, you said your R-CTCS is set to 141.3 Check that the T-CTCS is 141.3 as well (This is the more important code as the repeater looks for this)

 

As for SFT, check it is set for 1 which allows the radio to switch to the 467 frequency when you key up.
