I tried transmitting on the parrot talkgroup, (TS 1 TG 9998) and received no response back to my radio. I checked to see if my frequencies and offset were still correct in my codeplug, and they were, yet I still couldn't hear my transmission repeated back to me.

It seems likely, since the bands are so close together, but I can't find one advertised as such and a Google search turned out to be more confusing than informative.

This is a 10 meter radio but currently using it on 11 meters (until I get my license) The power supply is only 6 amp (radio requires 8 amp) so I can't turn the power all the way up... doesn't matter, it's working fine.
