Yaesu HT not working with repeaters

[zuren]

I have had my amateur radio license for some time now, but I was only really interested in simplex (radio-to-radio) communication. I have 2 hand transceivers that work radio-to-radio perfectly fine. One is a Yaesu Vx-7R and the other is a TERA TR-590. I can transmit and receive from one radio to the other perfectly.

Now I'm starting with play with repeaters. From what I can see, I have both radios set up exactly the same. Same frequency, same shift, same tone. Both radios will "open" the repeater. When I hit the PTT button on either radio, I hear that someone is trying to transmit on the other radio with both radios tuned into the repeater. When I identify on the TERA, I hear it on my Yaesu...so the TERA is set up correctly. However, when I identify on the Yaesu, I hear the repeater open on the TERA, but nothing else.

I've been through the Yaesu settings 50 times, did a factory reset and reprogram, changed antennas, and tried 2 other repeaters. The Yaesu continues to be able to open the repeater, as confirmed by what I see and hear on the TERA, but no verbal audio comes through.

I'm guessing it is a setting I'm forgetting but I'm not finding it. Has anyone had a similar experience and could point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Post edited. I thought I had solved my issue, but need to look at this again.

Quite often the cause of this symptom is desense, due to the close proximity of the radio you are listening on. the VX-7R very well may be overloading the receiver of the Terra. Try instead to list the help of another ham. Your VX-7R may be working just fine. The Terra may not have the front end filtering that the VX-7R has.
