Overview

Would work for me

Should work for me, I'm in AA near BWI.

Central Maryland (Howard County more than likely) would probably be best for most. If we do future meetups, we could move around.

We'd love to have you! I know you've organized the NOVA meetups.

I'd likely go. What area?

I'll come up from Woodbridge! Im game for pretty much anything.

Good evening folks! I've often heard many of your comments that we should have a get together and I figure why not? So I wanted to put some feelers out there on what kind of get together we should have. Should we reserve a table at a restaurant? Maybe a pavilion in a park and bring our own food (cookout or potluck)? Also, when should we have it? I figure maybe sometime in the late summer or early fall. Let's get some ideas together!

Just checked - back online this morning.

Doesn't seem to be working. I've never had trouble reaching it and just now tried a test with no response. Either down or a new tone.

is the repeater online ? and working ?

That poor repeater can’t catch a break!

I saw the pictures on Facebook

I didn't realize it was down - hadn't had much time to listen the last few weeks. Ellicott City and Towson are the only two I can reach reliably (near BWI), although I can occasionally hear a few others. I did sent a contribution to HoCo React on their behalf when I first started using the repeater a couple months ago.

I sent a few dollars to HC REACT towards a new tower. I'm glad nobody was hurt during the collapse.

Repeater is open to use. https://www.howardcountyreact.org/gmrs PL tone looks good on the screenshot.

so i need to wait for owners permission? ie does he have to grant me access? Are my setting s right? esp re tone squelch and DTCS?

No, the owner is very nice. You may use it. I have no trouble reaching it from the Annapolis area.

so programming my new radios with Chirp...not sure i have it right... in particular the Towson 600 one https://mygmrs.com/repeater/4281 Do i need to have permission from the owner? ( i did click on request but unsure if needed) this is what i have....

yes its back online. i did a ping on the repeater using my call sign in cw.

Thanks!

There was a Pasadena repeater testing there, pl-103.5. I haven’t heard that in a few weeks though.

Hi, I'm trying to find and identify area repeaters (Montgomery County/Howard County area). Anyone aware of any repeaters in this area on .675? Thanks for any reply, WSCR525/David

I appreciate the replies! I've identified two repeaters on 462.700 (Tx) that I can hit pretty easily from my location just south of Ashton. One uses a 141.3 tone (thanks radiozip), and another uses 167.9. I am assuming these are two different repeaters and not one repeater with two different tones! I do not have a directional antenna so I have no clue where these are without some driving around to see where they come up (which I'll do over the coming weeks).

141.3 is a popular tone, worth a try to see if you can bring it up.

I'll try to poke around and figure it out
