I tried connecting my Beofang to the main antenna. If it is, re-enable it and try it again.Ĭhances are slim this is your problem, but it's worth a shot. However, it only occurred when the keypad beep on the radio was set to 'OFF'. I don't recall if it was with transmit audio or receive audio.

K6SRF A while back, there was a firmware bug that caused a problem with audio. There is nothing you can do about that except not operating in close proximity to an active transmitter. When you transmit on one radio it kills the receiver in the other nearby radio until you stop transmitting. The second problem is a classic textbook case of receiver desense. What software did you use to program it? Are you sure the real reason isn't your second problem? MODERATORS

Is it just a bad radio? KB6EDec 17, If you copied the memory image from one radio to another that was a differnt model, or even a different firmware version of the same model, you could have bricked it. How to fix no transmit modulation Baofeng UV-5R and similar I can hear the other guy on the new one, but not myself. The other weird problem is that when I talk on a repeater on the old one, I can't hear myself on the new one. Setting up a repeater is not difficult, and in fact I used the programming software and I copied over all the channels from the old to the new one. I tried everything I can think of, and I still can't transmit. The problem is that I can't transmit on the new one on repeaters. It works so well that I thought I would get another one, so I got a slightly different model, UV-5X3, which is a triband.
