Retevis RA86 Repeater Issue…

[WoodsGhost]

I currently have a Retevis RA86 in my truck. I live in mountainous terrain and went to a high point to see if I could reach a repeater(repeater channel 20). After I keyed the mic, I could see bars show up as if Im receiving but not sound, hmmm? I then transmitted a radio check, same thing but then I quickly went to channel 20, I could then hear the repeater tone and someone respond “264 loud and clear”. What am I doing wrong that I’m transmitting on the repeater channel and can only hear on the non repeater channel? Below is my info Im using. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
 

Repeater Info: Frequency: 462.675 MHz  Output Tone: 141.3 hz    Input Tone: 141.3 hz

Radio Setting: Repeater Channels ON. Repeater Channel 20 TX Code: CTC-23 (141.3) RX Code: CTC-23 (141.3)

Retevis RA86 manual: Channel 20RP: TX Frequency 467.6750, RX Frequency 462.6750

Disregard the following advice.  I was wrong.

20 isn’t a repeater channel. 15-22 are simplex channels. 28 (or RP20 on some radios) is the repeater channel.

Ignore the guy above.  He didn’t get it.  I’d bet your radios receive tone is not programmed correctly

I see.
You’re right; i misunderstood the question and I agree that it’s probably the receive tone. 

@WSBC264 - I usually recommend leaving the receive tone empty at first. That way you receive everything. Once know your transmission is going through the repeater you can always put the receiver tone in.

So just leave my RX code blank and try it again? Is this my radio issue or the configuration of the repeater?
