Not sure that there are any GMRS repeaters in the Detroit area. Here is a list of repeaters in Michigan myGMRS.com - GMRS Repeater Directory

You don't need either to just listen. Just put in the correct frequency and you're set.

Can you share a screenshot from your programming software of the channels you're having problems with?

Assuming you're using Windows, hit the Print Screen button, then paste into Paint. That should give you a .png file that you can add as an attachment here. At least then, we can see how you are trying to set things up.

This has been mentioned once already.... if you only wish to listen, there is NO need to program any tone, CTCSS or DCS information. All that is needed is the frequency of interest.

I know this post is over a month old, however more than one person has experienced a squelch issue with TYT UV88 / Retevis RT85. See this youtube video,

.

I also had the same issue, with programmed frequencies. Even without CTCS or DCS set it acted like they were, you could hear the frequency fine if you held down squelch button. I ended up updating to latest firmware and did both Full and All reset. Now they radio works fine.

I wish I could tell you specifically what fixed it, but I did all of the above before trying it again.
