With a quick look at the manual, it appears you are good to go in analog FM mode. (Green/Green for Rx & Red/Red for Tx).
<div>
<br>
<div>
With a handheld, if you are too far from the repeater, indoors — especially downstairs, at the bottom of a local valley or low point in town, or maybe you are in just the wrong spot — sometimes a few feet can make a difference — if you are not be keying the repeater. On the other hand, from a local hilltop you can hit repeaters at fairly great distance w/ great ease. Too, check Tx offset is on, it should automatically default to the right direction (+ or - .600).

I once goofed that up w/ my FT-60 once.

Check that the Transmit Tone “T” is set correctly and is On, also turn Off Tone Squelch “TSQ” or “CTCSS” (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System).
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
BARS’ repeater is 147.120+ (so Tx is 147.720), Tone is 103.5 Hz to open the repeater, but it does not transmit a tone back to you.

Hi all,

<div class="default-style">
I have a YAESU FT-70D 2m handheld that I've programmed for tonight's NET, after following the handy dandy tutorial found here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CJ0-gm65DI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CJ0-gm65DI</a>

If I press the MONI/T.CALL switch the lights at the top are both green, and I receive fine, but I fear there's still an issue, as when I depress the PTT, they are both red.

I have verified that tone and offset are correct.

Any advice?
