Check to make sure your radio is not using a frequency offset to transmit, if you are using a ctcs or dcs tone, it should be the same tone for both radios on send and receive.
Your radio is not licensed to use the frequency you have selected in the US. That said I don't believe the FCC has resources to monitor GMRS channels deep in the woods. I don't expect this warning to affect your decision, but I feel obligated to inform you of the law I may have assisted you in breaking.On Sunday, April 30, 2017, Jake via chirp_users <

In a few weeks some friends and I are going on a 10 day camping trip. We will be several miles back into a wooded area. I would like to use my use my Baofeng UV-5RA during this trip to communicate with my buddies radio he picked up from a surplus store. I can receive his transmissions but he cannot receive my transmissions. I am not sure what setting to adjust in chirp.
Below is a list of the settings I set in CHIRP for this channel.
Name = TripFreq
Frequency = 462.562500
Mode = NFM
Power = Low
