I can trigger repeater, but no one hears me.

[MordeKyle]

I have two GMRS handhelds. I am trying to hit a local repeater. When I key up and release, I get a tone back from the repeater. No one ever hears my traffic though. I have the CTCSS set to 141.3 on RX and TX as it says on the repeaters page. I am not sure what I could be doing wrong. 

The handhelds are a Btech GMRS PRO and a Wouxun UV9GX. I also just got a programming cable for the Wouxun. CHIRPS seems to have different tone settings, so maybe I need to adjust something there? 

Any help us greatly appreciated. I'm trying to learn as much as I can. 

Thanks!

I believe this was something the British experimented with for listening for approaching aircraft before RADAR became the best way to watch for attacking aircraft.
