...I do get a two-tone hi-low beep when I release the PTT.

I think that might mean you are actually hitting it. (Unless that is your own radio doing a "roger beep" which you could turn off).

I'm not sure how many people use that repeater so you may or may not get a response. Call it with your call sign and ask for a radio check for your new radio... as a test see if you get a reply

but yes... outdoors where you have a clearer view of the direction of the repeater might help... but you may be hitting it from inside the house too.

also... don't be surprised if your request for access either takes a long time, or you never get a reply. Some repeater owners don't check their messages here on mygmrs very often. Another reason to just pay to join a club and use their repeater. they respond faster to requests.

But I totally understand. When I started I tried jsut the free ones that I had tone access to... before I paid to join a club or two
