I recently installed a Midland MXT275 in my wife's Jeep. I set the MXT275 on channel 6 with CTSS privacy tone 2. I then programmed the privacy tone into my Wouxun handheld to test range. I was about 2 miles away in town and my wife was back in our development (I had the Jeep she had the handheld). I was able to receive and transmit to a neighbor using a cheap Walmart FRS without any problems. Despite being able to hear me loud and clear from the Jeep, I couldn't hear any transmissions from my wife (who was using the handheld). I'm confident I programmed in the correct CTSS code on the handheld.

Any thoughts what might be causing my issue?
