I just got my GMRS license today trying to connect to my repeater in Muncie IN. I have a BAOFENG GM 15 Pro Can anyone help me Thanks Dale

I am trying to find out what settings I need to us on the input and output etc.

Find the repeater channel that coresponds to the repeater frequency. Enter the repeater input tone into your radios TX. You can leave the RX blank for now, it just filters out the signals you don't want to hear.

Go to this page and find which of the three Muncie-area repeaters you are trying to connect to: https://mygmrs.com/map/.  Then we can give you some numbers.

EDIT. Check that.  Two of those are paid membership, which you can look at later if you wish. For now I suggest you connect to WRAM564, which is an open system.  You'll need to transmit on 467.650.  This is channel 27 labelled "RPT - 5".  Go there, call up the menu and set a transmit tone of 118.8.  Listen with no tone.

This repeater's specs are here: https://mygmrs.com/repeater/9044.   Even though the repeater is labeled "Open", it's always polite to request access, either by clicking the tab in the upper right or asking verbally.

Thank you very much for your reply

You're welcome.

I have this same radio.  To set the tone you want menu item #12.  When you get there, just keep pushing the up button until 118.8 appears.  Lock that in and you should be good to go.

Let us know how it works.

I believe the Baofeng GM-15Pro is a clone of Radioddity's GM-30 GMRS HT and as such you can use the Radioddity CPS software with an appropriate USB to K-1 cable (I recommend those with a FTDI chip) to also program the unit.

I also have the Baofeng UV-13Pro which is the Ham Radio version of that HT and, at least when I purchased it for about $20 from AliExpress, it was open to GMRS as well.  It does use a different, Baofeng supplied CPS programming software.

Yes, I'm using that software with good luck.
