I am still trying to make a contact through the local repeater, using my Baofeng UV-5R. It doesn't work. I have set the CTCSS tone correctly (110.9 Hz) and am transmitting at the HT's maximum output (4 watts). The repeater doesn't respond, although it does when I use my Icom IC-T22a 1.5-watt HT. I am using the HT inside my apartment, which has metal screens in the front windows. I am wondering if those screens could be blocking my HT's signals (both HTs) from reaching the repeater.
