Jamie - we need to form a sub-group for "Worst HAM Operators in the Country". My credentials in this area are pretty strong...
Request for assistance from the more learned members of this forum: I finally was able to get CHIRP communicating with my Baofengs (models UV-5R and BF-F8HP) and programmed the radios based upon the very finest Youtube instructional videos. Problem - I can receive the NOAA broadcast off the UNC tower, but cannot receive or broadcast to the W4UNC repeater on the same tower. I cannot get any other area repeater for that matter. Would anyone be willing to review screenshots of my CHIRP settings to determine if there are any obvious missettings? Otherwise I am planning to attend the Saxapahaw meet on 2/22 - will buy your breakfast in return for tech support!
BTW, do have my technicians' class license (KK4VOU).
Ensure your repeater offset (+5.0 Mhz) is correct or communication to the repeater won't occur.
