This tells you that the radio is probably working fine and that the channel<br>
frequencies are correct. Looks like you have a squelch problem.<br>
<br>
My guess is that you've somehow turned "tone squelch" on (or whatever it's<br>
called in your radio). This is the one where the radio needs to hear the<br>
tone in order to open the squelch, not the one it sends to a repeater.<br>
<br>
If that is turned on, then it's most likely incorrect.<br>
<br>
Have a look at the channel programming IN THE RADIO and look at the tone<br>
squelch / CTCSS settings. Assuming they are set to tone squelch, then it's<br>
a matter of looking at the CHIRP file to see if it's set there too.<br>
<br>
An alternate possibility is that the radio's squelch level has been set<br>
impossibly high. Again, it should be easy to check that in the radio<br>
itself.<br>
