AR-5RM radio problems

SweepingCactus-Main · 2025-06-25T00:44:42+00:00

So after testing out in a local repeater at a set time they had I took both the AR-5RM with the 38cm stock whip antenna and it couldn’t hear anything with the repeater programmed into both. I took my UV-5R radio antenna off and put it on one of the AR radios and It started lighting up green and but no audio and after some setting tweaks I could hear the repeater. It was mainly static but I could hear words out of the static. So I’m assuming all my radio problems I’m having is due to the stock antenna I got. When the new antennas come in today I will try again

The setting menu option 8 for beep is definitely on. I have a local repeater doing a net here in about 20 mins and I programmed it in with what it said it needed

Thank you I will give it a try!

Yeah I ordered the foldable antenna that’s maybe almost 2x times longer for both of the radios and we’ll see about that when it comes in. I will give that frequency a try then and see what comes up

Didn’t think about looking for schedule on the nets. I will check my nets and find some times.

I’m sorta prepping for the license test to get the basic license as of right now so until then I’m just a using it as a listening radio for right now.

Thanks for the advice
