Repeater issue

[STONY]

I just got into GMRS with a group. I have set my radios up as everyone in the group. I can key the repeater and talk to some people in the group, but not all. And with my three radios I can key the repeater but only here the key on my other radios, no voice. What have we got wrong?

It’s not unusual at all to transmit from radio A to a repeater but be unable to hear your own transmission on a nearby second radio, radio B.
B is desensitized by its proximity to the relatively powerful signal from A. 
As long as others can hear you don’t worry about radios in the same room as you.

What radios annd anntena are you using. That will help with specifics.  Also how far from the repeater are you?    
 

but the only thing that would cause this is either a bad radio or settings.  Double check all your settings.  Are you programming from the face or chirp or other computer app.   You may have a tone off or be on low power or maybe a frequency may be off at .010 or even .001 ect.    Unfortunately no one here can tell you exactly what the problem is.  At best we can guess.  I’m f your programming on a computer can you take a screen shot and post that?

That sounds like a problem on some of the other people's end. Bad position / line of site to the repeater, incorrect settings on their radios, etc. If you're hitting the repeater and it's re-transmitting it and others can hear you, your radio's doing what it's supposed to. Nothing on your radio that I'm aware of will make it only audible to some and not others on a GMRS repeater.

Thanks I was thinking something along those lines. I did not make sense. I will get the radios apart as see where it goes. Thank you.

Different radios require different spacing.  I’ve heard of desensing out to 50 feet.  I’ve seen it at eight feet or so with Baofeng radios.  My Yaesu radios work fine even though they’re next to each other. I suspect Motorola commercial radios can handle it fine.
