???? I'll second that.? In 2012 I got my Technician's license and bought a UV-5R as my first amateur radio.? After setting it up and programming all the local repeaters, I found I could hear everyone but no one responded to me.? It took me a while to figure out it wasn't transmitting (although I forget exactly how I was able to confirm it).? Had to wait for a replacement from the dealer before I could finally get on the air for the first time.

With the type of issue you are having, I would not recommend buying RT Systems
software because I doubt you'll get different results. Of course, you can try,
but I'd be surprised if it did anything different.
Is it possible you just got some duds and you need to return them for
replacement?
I wish we had a 220 MHz repeater around here but we don't. I've always felt it
was the fault of the ham community that we lost 2 MHz of the original 220-225
MHz band by not utilizing it as much as we did 2 meters and 440 MHz.
