Narrative:
Coming in from northwest to join downwind to land runway 36; I noted plane north end of runway on gtn 750 ads B traffic system. I called position many times and asked for position report; no response; I continued to join downwind.noted plane departing seemed to be making early crosswind; no radio calls; I switched to my king 2nd radio to double check my radio was working and no response from departing plane. I then saw altitude closing and then identified a plane in the haze and I pulled up and turned west and later rejoined the downwind.landing uneventful. On turning to join the downwind; I saw the other plane was the [a high wing] that is [locally] based. Three other pilots heard my calls but none of those heard any calls from [the other] plane at that time.later after the [other] plane landed; and was put in hangar the two pilots acknowledged that it was them. I suggested in friendly terms that they have a radio check; but rather they claimed everyone heard them but me. When I offered up witnesses; they cussed me out and accused me of ruining aviation when I mentioned a [safety] report was needed over the close encounter. No accidents or damage.as an [experienced pilot] I was the most concerned about the anger response afterward of the two pilots as I was very forgiving of a simple frequency error/radio mishap and the desire not to report such a near miss.
