so I got my Baofeng BF-F8HP (3rd gen UV-5R) 8 Watt radio the other day. I downloaded the CHIRP software and was able to (I think) program our local repeaters...but I'm not hearing any chatter. How do I know if I have this thing set up properly if I can't broadcast and say, "hey...anyone home?"
I did hear some Morse Code last night, but no voice traffic at all.
What's a "busy" frequency I should try to scan to see if everything is working?
