So I bought the RF-3183 setup and cant get it to work with a Yeasu 2m radio. The Yeasu has a bnc adapter and is plugged in the VHF port on the antenna base. I have swapped radios, cables, vhp/uhf ports, swapped antenna bases (truck has two), grounded the antenna base, with no luck. I can see/use my local repeater on a cheap portable 5W but cannot hear/key up the repeater with the 3183. Do I need something special since is has two ports (VHF and UHF). I have also tested continuity from the radio to the base. Thank you!

Are you able to transmit and receive between the mil radio and your handheld on simplex?

Is the radio transmitting the proper CTCSS tone for the repeater?
