[chirp_users] Transmit Problems
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
I wonder if it is his radio. Maybe he has the receive tone set to a frequency, so he will only hear radios transmitting with that tone.

Illegal use should not be encouraged for any reason.

It sounds like his radio may have a CTCSS, or P/L tone enabled on his receive.
Secondly, unless you have a GMRS license, your UV-5RA violates 47 C.F.R, Part 95 Subpart B by having a removeable antenna and being able to transmit at more than 500 milliwatts (1/2 watt).

That is an illegal use of the radio.

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.

That would be illegal unless persons using the radios are licensed operators.

The radios would be legal for ham radio operators on ham frequencies. The radio does not qualify for GMRS whether or not the operators are licensed.

You must either get you friend to disable receive CTCSS on his radio your you must program your radio to transmit the matching CTCSS tone.

Not sure what your friend's radio is but it sounds like they may have CTCSS or PL turned on.
