Baofeng UG-5G Plus using the Baofeng GM5RH as update template
I have 4 repeaters programmed, 2 from Repeater Book and 2 from mygmrs.com's Las Vegas page. I believe 462.550 (KAG0100) and 462.725 (Mubuhay) are at least getting my query as the red light comes on when I specify those stations and push the PTT button. I stays lit red until I release the PTT button. Is there another way to check I've received the tone from those repeaters?
The other two from RepeaterBook showed up in a search for close proximity to my lat\long search by address. One is 224.7200 (tone mode is TONE and Tone is 141.3 with Duplex minus sign and Offset/TX Freq is 1.6000) and the other is 446.7750 (TSQL Tone Squelch 114.8 with Duplex a minus sign with Offset/TX Freq is 5.0000). The PTT button doesn't work on these at all.
Does repeater contact only work from the 'A' part of the display? The two that woriked did not connect from window B.
Next up, learn how to upload a file to the forum. I can find it, just won't upload.
THanks for your continued patience.
@wsgg368 I can not answer your main questions. but the very last one, I can help with. The maximum allowed file size is 512 MB. It may be easier to take a screen shot and post that.
First, many thanks to Bill WRQL525 for helping with 2 way comm with LVGMRS repeaters. If I was going to get smarter, I needed two way access to your 700 repeater for the Newbie Net. Got it done.
My radio (Baofeng UV-5G Plus) is not yet supported in Chirp. The GM5RH was the sub mentioned as a verified template I started with but nothing we tried worked. There was a second sub recommended, Radioddity UV-5G Plus, and like magic I began 2 way comm with 700.
Why? No idea but I will keep looking under those rocks. btw, I run Windows 11 on my PC.
