About the 575

About the 575,

All FCC Licensed GMRS radio operators have been granted the use of a set of frequencies allowed to operate on. All FCC licensed GMRS radio operators are allowed to communicate on the frequencies any/all repeaters operate on. It’s so easy to get a FCC GMRS Call-Sign. For a fee of $35 and “NO” test. The license is good for a 10 year period and covers ALL of your family.

St Charles 575 is a club for licensed GMRS “hobbyists” that enjoy using GMRS airwaves to communicate with others. The St Charles 575 is a repeater located in Weldon Springs, St Charles County, Missouri. It uses the GMRS frequency of 462.575000 with an offset/TX Freq + 5.000000, tone squelch of 136.5 (must be FCC lic. to operate on the repeater). Daily there are members communicating with each other, anyone is free to join the conversation. Permission is required to use the repeater from the owner WRMA779. 

Some benefits to General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS):

• Easy to use radios 

• Repeaters “They increase your range by miles depending on the type of repeater.”

All members are encouraged to join the weekly club comms.

Tuesdays at 7 pm CST. 

We also have club outings 2 to 3 times a year. Where we meet and have tests and tunes, map grid hikes, swap meets to name a few activities. 

All club members please help promote GMRS.
