Those are not the only two likely scenarios.

Some folks are telling how to best program your radio but let's figure out your problem by learning the basics of your UV-5R.

Have you looked at any of the settings I mentioned in my email to you of 5 days ago?

Answer these questions exactly so we can help you solve this issue:

Firstly, place radio in VFO mode by pressing orange VFO/MEM button. If you are in VFO mode, there will be no channel numbers displayed to the right of the frequencies.

Secondly, enter the numbers 449.325.

Thirdly, now check contents of menu locations.

What is the content/setting of Menu....

Number 0 -

Number 1 -

Number 7 -

Number 10 -

Number 11 -

Number 12 -

Number 13 -

Number 25 -

Number 26 -

After you report back, I'll tell you what the problem is and the fix.

Yes, I can receive?fine, but I have not gotten any replies?to calls I have made. Not sure to tell if it's transmitting at all, or if im just being ignored because I don't know anyone on frequency.

Ron,

By the way, the repeater that works best for me is the Ocotillo one (449.325 MHz PL 100). There are 2 nets that we have checked into. One every Wednesday at 7 PM local time & one on Saturday at 8 PM.

Are you receiving anything, can you hear the nets

Yes, I used CHIRP along with downloads from repeaterbook to program the phone. IT does show the frequency shift and PL tones as being programmed, but it still not able to raise any contacts.

Have you tried the "chirp" program?
I downloaded a copy to my laptop, connected the USB cable and got ALL the memory channels filled. The Baofeng is hard to hand load.

Hi all, im a newbie and just got my Tech license about 2 weeks ago. I got a Baofeng UV-5R radio off Amazon, and have tried programming in the local repeaters, but while I can receive, I have not been able to get any reply to my attempts at broadcasting. I assume I don't have it setup correctly, and wondering if it's possible to hook-up with someone in the Gilbert area who can let me know what im doing wrong.
Thanks,
Ron, KJ7MSB
