I downloaded the CHIRP software I received with the radio, I used updated software to program the radio, it transmits fine, the problem is that I am not receiving anyone, the color on the radio changes as there are people talking, I have a scanner that also confirms that people are talking, but no audio from the radio, with the exception of the National Weather Service that is programmed in. I have some ham radio, FRS, GMRS Freq's programmed in. Since the updated software puts all the information in for us when you enter the frequency, I am not sure what is going on, any solutions?
Most likely you have something selected in the Tone Mode field. Leaving it blank will allow your radio to listen to all signals that are in range of your receiver. When something is selected (Tone, TSQL, etc) then your radio will ignore everything that does not match your selection.
You can test for this by pressing and holding the [MONI] button (bottom black button on the left side of the radio) to temporarily bypass any selective squelch settings that you may have (inadvertently) enabled.
