Repeater Help (BaoFeng UV-5RE)

[baminian]

Hello there everyone. This is my first time posting on this forum.

I've been trying to program a repeater into my BaoFeng UV-5R with no luck each time.
I found this repeater in my area: Syosset, , 447.975, WB2CYN Repeater

What should I type into CHIRP in order to be able to use this repeater (Offset, tone, etc.)

Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much!!! I was putting .6 as the offset wondering why it wouldnt work. I appreciate it

I made the same mistake when attempting to get into a 420 MHz repeater using the 144 MHz standard offset. I was quite excited when I made my first 420 MHz contact on a repeater, after quite some time of wondering why I wasn't making it in. I could hear fine. The offset made all the difference!

Offset - The RadioReference Wiki

Chirp is a fine application for programming your UV. I have several HT's, and it helps to get them all programmed the same.

When I keyed 447.97500 into CHIRP, it automatically set Duplex="-" and Offset="5.00000".

I'm sorry to bump my old thread, but I'm still having problems using this repeater.

I send a transmission with one of my radios, I get the response tone from the repeater on both radios, but I cannot hear my transmission on the other radio. It doesn't pick up a signal from the repeater until after I stop transmitting on the other radio, but that signal I get after ending the transmission on the radio is just white noise.

Here is the configuration in CHIRP:

You are probably desensing the receiver of the second radio when you transmit. How far apart are they?

Here is the configuration in CHIRP:

You cannot listen to your transmissions through a repeater with a close by monitor receiver. The very strong (because of its closeness) and off-frequency transmission overloads the receiver causing it to be "deaf" until the transmission goes away.
