Linda,

While it is true that you will always hear some repeaters and never be 
able to transmit through them at the 5 watt level, here is another 
possible cause of the problem. This is a shot in the dark on my part, 
but here goes.

I think you are using a Wouxun.

Remember that the plus and minus offset direction on those radios is 
not automatic like it is on most of the others.

Thus, if you have 1 repeater that is on a frequency above 147.000, and 
the others are on 145 or 146 MHZ, the 147 repeater will in all 
likelihood require a plus offset.

So, be sure that is what you have programmed in the memory for that 
frequency pair, along with the high power setting.

Then, as I said in the information I sent you off list, try the magnet 
mount in several locations around your house, and be prepared to 
compromise regarding the location where it really works vs where you 
really want it to work.

Subject: got the magnet mount






Hi all, now I have the magnet mount antenna.



I can pick up signals-and I can listen to the particular repeater, but 
here
is the thing, I can't transmit. (there  is no ctcss tone on this 
repeater.)





I can receive on my two other repeaters and can transmit. Just on this 
one
repeater I can't.



Any thoughts? The weather is nasty down here today-but tomorrow, I 
will take
the mag mount and ht a little away from the building.



Thanks,







Hugs and 73
