I programmed my F-11 to the frequencies I desired, but I can not get any audio or any indication that the repeater system I am using, is getting any signal from the handheld. I have programmed simplex channels on known busy frequencies to no avail. I even got desperate to see what was wrong and programmed the radio for NOAA channels, in which it will no receive audio from them as well. My question is, what exactly am I programming in CS-F11 incorrectly to make the radio not work?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

It would help if you would list one full horizontal line of data from your CS-11 file. Some things to mind would be setting the two tone decode active on all channels or wrong CTCSS/DTS. The green light on top of the radio should be on if a signal is being received on the Wx frequencies.

I just tested with my ft-8900r that works. The f-11 is transmitting but when I try to transmit back on the yaesu I get no audio. I figured that it was probably a tone mis match to I programmed both the F-11 and the 8900r for 155.000 no tones. F-11 would transmit but not receive.

Attach image of screen shot, you could have miss a simple step. Find prtsc and duplicated the images in the art format, etc and then post images.

Assign one of the buttons to "MONI." Hold it down and see if you hear static.
Nothing looks funny about your programming based on that screenshot.

You might try a speaker mic on the radio just to see if the face mounted speaker has opened up.

Looks good, I try a 3.5 mm computer speaker first. But, he not even getting the green light. Any warranties?

Cool, as long as its gets replaced or fixed. It seemed like your problem was one in million type thing.
RF connector failures are not uncommon on those radios. Quite often it's just a broken solder joing where the RF connector pin meets the circuit board. Easily fixed by retightening the screws that hold the RF connector into the frame (Loctite on those screws is HIGHLY recommended) and resoldering the connection on the circuit board.
I deal with those radios very frequently.
