Ok, when listening to repeaters I have to push the MONI (monitor) button to hear people, but it gives me an ear full of static. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried adjusting squelch, doesn't help.  I'm using it as a base, not mobile.

By hitting the monitor you’re allowing all traffic in at full squelch off.   If your not hearing the repeater with out this your times are probably wrong. 

My times??

"Tones" I think he meant...(Typo I'm sure)
It means your RX tone/code/CTCSS for the repeater.

You may have the RX tone wrong that might be why you cant hear them

Yea sorry Tones.   Thank you trike. 
 

might look at your squelch setting on that channel. Maybe it’s up too high?   It shouldn’t be an issue since you have tones but take a look anyway.   Might not be actual repeater traffic your hearing when you push the monitor button?  Might just be local simplex or another repeater?  The actual repeater you’re trying to reach may be too far away?   How far away is the repeater?   Does your antenna have line of sight?
