ERS 575 is now 625 . PM me if you wish access to the machine. I will list it later after some changes are made. will also be making a new thread.

The forum registration is tied to your myGMRS account. So in order to create a forum account, you would have a full myGMRS account as well with access to the repeater listing information. We opened up guest access to allow new and prospective members to be able to ask questions and decide whether they wanted to participate in the community. Once they have a valid GMRS license they are free to sign up and have full forum access. To answer the poster's question about contacting a repeater owner, you may look up the repeater listing and click on the owner's username. That will bring up their profile with the mailing address attached to their GMRS license with the FCC. We don't expose their email address to non-members for obvious security reasons. In fact, the only reason we show the address is because it's public record with the FCC, so it's already available to the public.

So long as trees aren't in the way, we've got a clear view of Port Colborne, Ontario due north of us across the lake.

when I lived North of line A as recent as Nov 2016. the rules stated: Effective 2/16/99 the GMRS rules have been amended and you may operate on any of the primary or interstitial channels shown in section 95.29. Exception: Licensees who operate North of Line A and East of Line C may not operate on channels 462.650 MHZ,467.650 MHZ, 462.700 MHZ and 467.700 MHZ unless your previous license authorized such operations. This is clearly stated on my copy of licenses in Waivers/Conditions. There appears to be no further restriction on RF power outside of those already existing for the GMRS service. I interpret the rules as saying you are allowed the 50 watts for mobile use. The terms of base and control stations is changing this summer so please look to the FCC documents and rules outlined.
