RULES
BROADNET GMRS REPEATER SYSTEMS
Usage Guidelines and Radio Programming Information
Dear BROADNET GMRS Repeater System Members,
In order to ensure smooth and respectful operation of the BROADNET GMRS Repeater System, please
familiarize yourself with the following guidelines.
Guidelines:
1. Radio Activation and Checks:
• Upon connecting your radio to the system, kindly request an administrator for a radio
check.
• Once your connection is confirmed, refrain from requesting additional radio checks or
offering them to others.
2. Frequency Etiquette:
• During conversations (QSOs), avoid monopolizing the frequency. Allow intervals
between transmissions for other members to join.
• Periodically state your call sign so that fellow listeners can identify the speaker.
3. Identification Protocol:
• Only respond to individuals who provide their call sign. Do not engage with unidentified
users or jumpers.
4. Respectful Communication:
• Maintain a respectful tone, refraining from the use of offensive language, discussions
related to religion, or politics.
• Exhibit courtesy to fellow members at all times.
5. Seek Assistance:
• If you encounter any issues, promptly contact an administrator for assistance.
6. Confidentiality:
• Do not share the PL tones or password with anyone, including family members.
7. Inquiries:
• For any inquiries related to BROADNET, reach out to our administrators.
8. Participation Requirement:
• Adherence to these rules is mandatory for membership in the BROADNET GMRS
Repeater System. Failure to comply may result in removal from the system without prior
warning.
9. Weekly Net:
• Join our net every Thursday night at 8:00 PM. Wait for the net controller to call your
name and callsign before checking in. Net control does not entertain early check-ins.
10. Radio Testing:
• Please refrain from testing your radio over the Repeater. The Repeater has been
operational for over five years without issues. Test your radio on a Simplex channel with
a friend or an experienced operator.
By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure an enjoyable experience for all members. Failure to
comply may result in removal from the system without warning.
