Hello everyone! I am interested in starting a GMRS repeater on Long Island with good power. I have a location in central Suffolk County. Did some searches and there is only one repeater and it doesn't reach the tip of our island. Can I get some direction please.

Greetings all. I'm a ham (Sounds like an AA meeting) and I use that equipment most of the time. Of course I have gotten a GMRS Lic so my non ham family and I can chat when we are out and about. Now heres where Im confused when chatting whith your GMRS folks do you other hammies use your GRMS call or your Amatuer call? Whats the proper ediquet? I don't wanna be a snob. I honestly havent even checked my band plan to see if my ham license covers the GMRS stuff so it may be a moot question. I just got the GMRS today so I can chat with the family who are non hams and probably will never take the test. And perhaps convince some of my prepper pals to get GMRS Lic though not sure why they won't get their tech for that matter. Thanks

There are 2 repeaters that might work depending upon exactly where your going to be in Yosemite; Mt Bullion on 462.600 (located on Mt Bullion) has limited coverage into the valley NVGMRS-.700 on 462.700 Located on Mt Oso has better coverage into the valley but still limited You can look both of these up in the Repeater listings, both require permission. NVGMRS-.700 is your best bet and it covers into Sacramento as well. Being located on Mt Oso it has great coverage of the entire valley and into the foothills as well.
