Baofeng UV-5R5

[skinnypete07]

Was wondering if anyone could help me. I cant figure out how to get my UV-5R5 to be heard when talking with the motorola RDM2070D on channel 1. I can hear on all channels and talk on all channels except channel 1. Any suggestions?

You'd have to check the programming in your radio. Could be it has transmit inhibited, could be there's a tone squelch that you do not have set correctly. But you'll need to know ALL of the programming settings for "Channel 1" and confirm they are all set correctly on your radio.

Easist way is go to the radio dept and ask what you need on Channel 1. If not , go ro the database here, and see if you can fin d your channel 1, possibly the database shows what is the input. If that doesn;'t work, go the county print out within the database, locate your outpit frequency, not the call sign, and look for another frequency that has the same call sign. Many times the same call signs, are paired together. Now the tone being used, thats a crap shoot. On a older system, the same tone is used thoughout.

Look up the Motorola channel 1 frequency and PL/DCS codes in the manual.
I posted a link to the manual at http://forums.radioreference.com/2540278-post5.html

Also be aware that Baofeng radios are not FCC certified for use on MURS so you can't legally transmit with it.

Those radios appear to have 122 possible tone codes. There's no reason that code would be listed with the FCC or elsewhere, except with the licensee's own documentation, i.e. "in house" and not necessarily distributed to anyone else.

There are some radios that can scan for tones and allow you to match them, but your radio probably is not one of them. It is designed to be programmed by someone who is authorized by the licensee.

If you are supposed to be talking to those other radios, there is an administrator in charge of them. If they have authorized your radio, they can tell you what the settings are, or who "the radio guy" is, that does the setting for them. Their license application probably limits the number of radios they are allowed to have in use as well, so if the administrator doesn't know about your radio and authorize its use, you may have other problems.
