Guest Shane Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 This is a little weird. I have two Baofeng UV – 5G. And 2 Midland x talk gmrs radios. The Midland is set to. Channel 20 and the UV – 5G is set to the corresponding. Frequency which I think is 462.675. Anyway, the two Midlands will talk to each other and the Midlands will talk to the two UV- 5g but the two UV 5G will not communicate with each other, and will not communicate with the Midland. I don’t get it. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRXB215 Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 The first thing I would do is check the tones. Start by removing them all and then if you want to use tones, make sure they are the same on all radios. WRHS218 and Sshannon 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OffRoaderX Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Wide/Narrow has nothing to do with it because that would not prevent them from transmitting/hearing each other. The issue is he is trying to transmit in frequency/VFO mode, which you cannot do on UV-5G radios.. Assuming there are no incorrect tones, putting the radio in channel/MR mode and set the correct GMRS "channel" should make everything work.

Nice effort though .. I guess? WRZU658 and WRXB215 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the post, and comments you post, I have learned a lot about GMRS from you do a great job, for the new GMRS operators, I have been the whole rout in radio, I started in radio as a CBer, I be came to Ham Radio operator, and now I add GMRS, To me its all about talking to new people, when ever thing goes South all radio will be needed. Thanks and keep up the great work, Randy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
