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

Hello Ron,
?
I see you have received a lot of responses to your query. I was wondering however: Have you tried transmitting on a simplex frequency like 146.460 (or any other) and listen on another radio to make sure that the transmitter is actually working?
?
73,

I'm not far from you and it appears that the Gilbert Riparian Preserve is right between us. If you would like to get together there at some point, let me know. You can respond to my email directly at ki7ppw@... or ki7ppw@... if you would prefer to take the conversation off-group. I can help you with setting up memories manually as well if you would like.
