If everything went well, you should be able to make a test call through the repeater. If you're experiencing problems
making a connection to the repeater, check your setting and/ or go through the procedure again.
Certain Amateur Radio repeaters (especially in Europe) use a 1750Hz tone burst to open up the repeater. To see how
this is done with the BAOFENG Radio, see the section called "1750Hz Tone- burst".
If you 're still unable to make a connection, contact the person in charge of the radio system with your employer or
your local amateur radio club, as the case may be.
If you for some reason want to listen to the repeater's input frequency instead, press

Amateur Radio Setup
In contrast with Commercial radio operators, who often need very specific requirements to be compatible with a very
specific radio implementation, Amateur radio operators tend to need the broadest possible settings in order to be
compatible with as many systems as possible. This basically implies turning all the fancy features that you typically
momentarily and you'll reverse
might need for a commercial setup off.
In a typical Amateur radio setup the following settings would be recommended:
Set bandwidth to Wide (menu item 5).
Turn DCS and CTCSS off (menu items 10 through 13).
Turn ANI, DTMFST, S-CODE, PTT-ID settings OFF and PTT-LT to Oms (menu items 15 through 17 and 19 through
20 respectively).
Turn off the Squelch Tail Elimination (STE) , Repeater Squelch Tail Elimination RP-STE and Delay Tail Tone of
Repeater RPT-RL features (menu items 35 through 37).
Turn Roger beep (ROGER) off (menu item 39).
For further information see Appendix B, Menu definitions and Chapter4, Working the menu system.

You may be tempted to use FRS GMRS, MURS (in the USA) or PMR446 (in Europe) frequencies. Do note however
there are restrictions on these bands that make this transceiver illegal for use for FRS, GMRS and MURS frequencies.
