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.
