Radioditty Handheld won’t communicate with RD mobile on repeater channel

[WRDL400]

Good day all and thank you for allowing me to join.

Just got my RD GM30. Been a GMRS user for about 5 years I have a base station (RD DB20G) that regularly connects to a repeater (40ft directional).

I have configured the GM30 to the same repeater channel and the corresponding tx and rx CTCSS.

When I transmit I can see the base station “receiving” but I do not hear myself. I have a TDH3 set to the same and it communicates with the base/mobile with no problems.

Any ideas from seasoned GM30 users? Thank you in advance!

Edit: the base receives all channels 1-22 5 by 5.

The radios are probably too close together and you are experiencing desense. Get someone to help and move the HT 50 feet away and try again.

So your base station hits the repeater but your ht does not?   
 

how far from the repeater are you. Remember you’ve got a 20w base with an antenna up high. Then you have an ht with a small antenna down low.  Sounds like it’s open repeater squelch but not getting the voice to the repeater well enough for it to transmit.  An ht will have a mile to 60miles depending on line of sight.
