Use CHIRP to program Ansoko 888S radio to talk with all other company radios

[Rockin_Robbins1979]

I recently purchased four (4) Ansoko 888S radios to try with our already existing company radios that range from Vertex Standard, to ICOM, to Hytera, to Baofeng, to Midland. I am programming the 888S radios using CHIRP. I am able to hear the conversations from my other radios on the 888S radios, however, when I try to send a message from my 888S radios to our other radios, the transmission is not going through. What am I doing wrong with my programming and/or settings on the 888S radios?

Either you don't have the transmit frequencies programmed correctly or you don't have CTCSS or DCS programmed correctly. You need to compare the CHIRP settings to how the other radios are programmed.

CHIRP can be difficult to use if you have little or no knowledge of radio programming because they use non-standard terminology for some settings.

Thanks for the information. CHIRP has only been difficult because it cannot read most, if not all of my current radios, which some are so ancient that the models are not listed. Our Vertex Standard radios are Model VX-261. Not listed. Hytera is not a Vendor option at all to choose from. Our ICOM radios are Model IC-F2000. Not listed. Our Midland radios are Model MB400 & BR200 neither model listed on CHIRP.
