Hello,
I just bought a Baofeng UV-B5 (same as a UV-B6 except for the flashlight) and I am having a problem with it. I can bring up all the repeaters I have tried EXCEPT for the two local repeaters that use PL tone 162.2 on their input. My other HT's (different models) can bring up both local repeaters fine with one watt. I know there is an issue with these radios when using receive Tone Squelch of 118.8, but I can not find any mention of this issue I am having. I do like the radio a lot, so I would like to get a replacement radio unless it turns out that they all have this issue.
Anyone else know about this problem, or have a repeater using 162.2 that they can try?
Thanks,
Lorrin
