| May 5, 2017 at 16:47 | comment | added | Thomas | Well, I didn't set it to the lowest setting, since if I did it would "receive" and give me static the whole time. If the RX CTCSS is wrong with KG-UV8D, then you still get the post-send burst? Huh. Well, like I also said I have made contacts over the repeater, so the RX CTCSS is at least not completely wrong. | |

| May 5, 2017 at 16:34 | comment | added | AndrejaKo | Unfortunately, I don't have a Baofeng, but usually, when you reduce the squelch to the lowest setting, the squelch is actually disabled. Also, some radios (perhaps your too) will allow you to have a different CTCSS for transmission and reception. In such case, if the receive CTCSS is wrong, then repeater will hear you fine, but you won't be able to hear the repeater. Also, many radios will light up, even if CTCSS doesn't match, but will not output the radio. That's why I thought that perhaps your receive CTCSS could be wrong. | |
| May 5, 2017 at 14:40 | comment | added | Thomas | @AndrejaKo like I said: 1) It works when I reduce SQL 2) I have made contacts with this repeater, so I can receive and send. 3) The radio lights up if receving even if the CTCSS doesn't match. | |
