KiltedHam got a reaction from Lscott in Equipment.
Just my 2 cents worth,
If you are just getting into GMRS and aren't into Ham radio at all, the most budget friendly radios are going to be the Midland or one of the Chinese radios.
I've never dealt with the Midlands and am a Ham so my setup may not be the norm for most. However, as to the various Chinese radios, a lot of them are rather tough to get support on because they are only supported from China.
My personal recommendation for radio brand would be the Btech's! Yes they are manufactured in China BUT, they are supported (by an awesome customer service team!) here in the USA!!!!!
They best reference material you will probably find for an impartial tool to decide would be Miklor's site!

Find what does what YOU want to do and makes you happy!!!! Don't worry about what others think or want you to do or get!

Well I'm not "arguing" about anything "again" as I am new to GMRS.
However, I am in the process of putting up multiple high profile, linked, GMRS repeaters in the Metro Detroit area and wanted to know. The answers provided here, before I resurrected the thread, seemed flat out wrong and provided by someone who should know better...

One of the new GMRS repeaters by me does so using a female voice. It even announces it’s an open repeater and the access tone required.

Please excuse me but I feel I need to post something very controversial....

Are you saying the FCC is misunderstanding their own rules? Because that is hilarious.

I would not rule it out. The FAA, ATF and DMV in every state do it all the time.

The clearest description with the least words I have seen. Nicely done.

Maybe this can help people understand: If a GMRS repeater has more than one licensee operating on it, the repeater MUST identify.
Reason: If there are 2 or more valid licensees operating on a repeater, the FCC needs to know who is responsible for the repeater.

Since I am in Douglas County, Washington I will also keep an eye on this thread. I did just find a GMRS repeater in East Wenatchee that is up that I requested to use.
