Thank you for your information, I believe I have it right now, I will send it to the radio and see what happens.

Dave,
I'm not understanding your problem.
Your repeater, on 462.500, does it have a CTCSS tone requirement to key the repeater? If so, you must set the radio to that tone - is that where you got the 88.5 tone?
If you monitor that frequency, 462.500, do you hear people on the repeater?
If you have the proper tone set, and the setting is for Tone, to send the proper CTCSS tone when you transmit, do you hear the repeater after you stop transmitting?
If you set the proper tone and choose tonesq, you will only hear people if the repeater transmits the tone you've set.
You could be struggling with one or more issues:
- Distance, the repeater is just too far away
- Settings, you may not have the correct freq or CTCSS tone
- lack of traffic, there just may be no one using the repeater when you are
If you think you've done everything right, and you've set the tone setting to Tone (not Tonesq), I'd suggest just turning the radio on sitting in the charging cradle, monitoring the repeater 24x7 and see if you hear anything
- I don't think GMRS repeaters are used that often, but some organizations
may use the repeater for nets or other on-air activity, and just leaving the radio on will help you find out if/when the repeater is used.
Have you tried reaching the repeater owner?
Good luck,
Ken

i am very new to this, I am trying to program using CHIRP to the
Baofeng
UV-5R, as I am licensed to use GMRS, CHIRP, when I programmed in the frequency, put in DTSC in the tone mode column, which prevented me from hearing anyone, I changed it to tone, now I can hear other users, the
tone
is set at 88.5, channels that have a repeater are set to + 5.000000, FM
at
high power. As I am not sure if any of the settings are correct, as I am not able
to
contact anyone, is there anyone who can help me with the settings I
need
in
all the columns? I appreciate any assistance you can give me in this!
Which repeater?
