WRUC846 Posted Friday at 12:18 AM Report Posted Friday at 12:18 AM Hey all I think I have my radio setup correctly but I don’t seem to be able to transmit, I have a tidradio td-h3, I programmed the Thompson station repeater into it and heard a few people but no one could hear me, any advice?
SteveGibbs Posted Friday at 02:12 PM Report Posted Friday at 02:12 PM When you attempt to transmit, do you hear the repeater "squelch tail" (signal without modulation) for a few seconds after you release the PTT button? WRUC846 1

WRUC846 Posted Sunday at 02:00 AM Author Report Posted Sunday at 02:00 AM did a full reset of my radio and tried on RPT4 and managed to get a rreply, now just need to figure out why when i program a repeater that its not working
WSDV406 Posted Monday at 02:30 AM Report Posted Monday at 02:30 AM What mode is your TD-H3 in (GMRS, HAM, Unlocked)? Do you have your repeater channel offsets setup properly? WRUC846 1

I actually heard somebody on the Gallatin repeater this afternoon expressing that they were having the same issue. Was that you? I can't recall the call sign of the person that was expressing that issue. I'll say this, I have a couple of h3's and a couple of h8's (and ive programmed several of both for other people), can I have had 1 lemon. It would receive wouldn't transmit, the programming wouldn't stick, and a few other weird issues. So my first bit of advice to you would be order a new one and see if everything works as it should. If it does, then you simply just had a lemon. My second bit of advice would be to unlock it. That's the way I use all of my h3 and H8 radios. See if things work right once the restrictions of GMRS mode are gone. WRUC846 1
WRUC846 Posted Monday at 06:51 AM Author Report Posted Monday at 06:51 AM that was not me, not sure my h3 could reach gallatin from spring hill but i will see about tuning in and see if maybe i will pick something up or if need be get some thing with a bit more powerr WSDV406 1
