Hello and thanks in advance for reading a newbies post.
I am new to this so please be gentle lol.
I bought a Baofeng BF-5RH handheld off Temu and have a question about using it to communicate with a friends Motorola T7450 on GMRS-1 462.5625 MHz.
1) I set my Baofeng to 462.5625 MHz.
2) When the Motorola transmits it comes through the Baofeng loud and clear.
3) When the Baofeng PTT key is pressed I get nothing on the Motorola.
Volume is up and when I use a second Motorola T7450 to transmit it comes through loud and clear on both the Baofeng and other Motorola.
I have not changed any menu options on the Baofeng. It's straight out of the box and fully charged before use. The antenna is fully screwed onto the radio.
When pressing the PTT on the Baofeng I see fully lit "bar" below the "A" frequency of 462.5625 MHz, it's pegged with all the "squares" including the right most red ones lit. I assume that means I am transmitting?

Am I doing something wrong or could my new radio be malfunctioning?
Also, am I correct in assuming that it's OK to transmit on the GMRS frequencies because they are on my Motorola radios?
