You have one of several new models that only transmits within the USA ham bands: 144-148 MHz and 420-460 MHz. Any frequency outside of those ranges is RX only. The one sold by Radioddity is called the GT-5R. https://www.radioddity.com/products/baofeng-gt-5r As you can see from the Radioddity page, they tend to cost less ($24.99) than the radios that can TX across the whole 130-179 MHz and 400-520 MHz ranges, so many owners mistakenly purchased them to get the "lowest price".
