Overview

Should have said thanks Steve for posting info from Gil.

Hi Gil, Thanks for the information. I will take another look using your information. Dave

Hi Dave, Gil, @wruu653, pointed out that the repeaters appear in a search if you turn on Stale and Offline repeaters. But then I found something weird, a mismatch (I think?) between map view and tabular view. If I do a tabular data repeater search to include stale and offline, both repeaters appear on the map. But if I go to map first and turn on those two switches for stale and offline, the repeaters don’t appear on the map. I have written to Rich, the site administrator, to learn what I might be doing wrong. Anyway, if you do a repeater search to include Stale and Offline repeaters, both Eureka repeaters appear in the list, allowing you to select them. If you do that they appear on the map and more importantly the owner’s call sign is available for you to contact him. You might want to contact the owner and ask him to update his data on the site.

Sorry, I have no idea and I don’t know if any mygmrs members are near there.

I was looking on the map today and don't see the above repeater. If I remember correctly it was just south of Eureka. I also had a second repeater listed that had the same name, but a freq. of 462.725. Did this get taken down, storm damage? I showed on listed on Pinkham Mt., the other on Black Butte. Thanks, Dave

Howdy, neighbor! While I currently live on the Idaho side of the state line, I spent the past decade in TC and still have family (and property) there. Good luck with your build! My step-kid graduated from Noxon High just a few years ago. Big state, small world! Edited to add: I only have the pair of Baofeng UV-5G Plus HTs. For now. God help me.

It’s a page, not a group. By liking it you follow it so you receive notifications, unless you turn those off.

Let's all welcome, JStrasbaugh!

Yeah, I think that's all there is. By liking it, you should get notification of posts. You should also be able to make posts. Let me know if this isn't the case.

My wife taught in Noxon from fall of 1977 to the end of the the school year spring of 1979. Beautiful area. We considered buying a house there but instead went to eastern Montana (a one room school outside of Sidney).

My wife and I are overlooking the Clark Fork River between Trout Creek and Thompson Falls. We're working on building a house on the property, though it's a long process. As far as I've found, there aren't any GMRS repeaters nearby, though there are a couple of low-powered ham repeaters that I can hit when I'm in town. As for GMRS, we use TidRadio handhelds around the property and have 50w Midland mobile radios in the vehicles.

All it lets me do is like the page. I don't see an option to join.

Thanks all. I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone. I've been considering putting up a repeater in my area since there aren't any listed nearby. I'll be sure to post the details when I do. Travis WRCT989

Welcome @WRCT989 and @Pyro406!

Let's all welcome, WRCT989!

This will be the welcome area for new members. Be sure to send them a little love.

I put up a new Facebook page for Montana GMRS. Please join and share. Might be easier to use than this but we'll keep using both. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574015608515

Use this area for things that don't fit into the other topics. A general, catch-all.

Some of us are old radio buffs and some of us are just getting started. Do you have questions about GMRS or in radio, in general? Unlike many of the Facebook groups, this is a place you can ask any radio-related question without negative retorts. Ask away, we're here together to grow and learn.

That's not far, at all. Not on the bike

Well, 120 miles each way or so is a little far, but I truly appreciate your offer. I might even take you up on it! Thanks!

Ya know, we're not that far apart. If you're planning on doing this in the spring or summer, I wouldn't mind taking a ride over and giving you a hand.

Thanks, that gives me a little confidence.

This was my first headliner. I found a guy on youtube who "de-policify's" (his term) interceptors. I've spoken with him on the phone and that really boosted my confidence. I used to install radios, C.B.'s, etc, back in the 70's and 80's, and it was a totally different animal back then. Now, the headliner is one piece and solid, instead of a glued on fabric. Just had to remove the pillar coverings, which are snapped in, and the whole thing just fell down! Easy peasy.

Yeah, when the temperature gets higher I hope to do my truck and 4Runner but the headliner is the thing that intimidates me. I haven’t done that before.
