Have you made sure the safety catch has been released? It doesn't sound like it.
What you need to do is open the battery cover then poke a paperclip or safety pin in the small hole that you will see. Move it from side to side until you feel the catch, then yank it backwards towards the casing until you hear a little click and that should do it.

Refuse, just because you can hear someone, it doesn't necessarily mean that they can hear you. Handhelds use far less power than full-size radios and the other stations may simply not be able to hear you.

Re: hrmz
We're more than happy to help, refuse. But it would be helpful if you used sentences, commas etc in your posts since I haven't got a clue what you're talking about here.refuse wrote:i cant seeem to find this safty thing and with talking too ppl its the same with my mates cb in his car and its the same all i get is these ppl talking on channel 1,... do u have to do the channel and ctcss codes aswell or can u just use the uhf channel wat is the ctcss codes for anyway just so hard learning this when my instruction manual dosnt tell me much cheers for any hellp far out neva new how hard these things are to use

I have that exact same CB. Very nice unit.
Firstly, where are you located suburb wise?
Second, for channels 1-8 which are repeaters you need to hit the repeater active button that should throw up a little arrow or something say for channel 1. What that does is receives on Ch1, and transmits to the repeater on Ch31.
Let me know what else you need to know.
Be advised that Toottoot was just taking the piss as well.

NJ102 to VKI,where the option button on tadis.
VKI to NJ102,we dont have option button up here

You just talk on Ch1 and thats it. The radio internally transmits on 31 and receives on 1.
EDIT: As long as you have the repeater button activated with the little triangle in the bottom right corner.
