I have a midland mxt275, I can receive from super far distances all the time, but I cant seem to get a response while transmitting IE: Radio Check.
Things I have done, checked ect.
I have both ghost and whip antennas. SWR reads 1.1 - 1.5 on either. I have a 12" ground plane, solid 14V to the unit, I have reset to factory defaults, repeaters on and off, changed radios, changed cars, changed antennas/cables and get same results on both. I'm completely stumped here and could really use some advise.
Going down the freeway, I hear tons of clear chatter close and miles away but I guess no one can hear me. I have tested in close proximity with 2 identical radios and I can receive and transmit on both w/out issues while 30 feet apart.
