  2. I usually listen the channel first, to see if someone using, If someone is talking, wait or change the channel. Then I go "This is <CALLSIGN>, name is <NAME>, from <LOCATION>, radio check, radio check" and wait at least 15-20 seconds to repeat it, if nobody replies...
  3. Welcome to new world of the radio communication.
  4. There are few things related with antenna height at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-95/subpart-A/section-95.317
  5. Two things, came up my mind, you want to add to list - Channels 8-14 to hand-held radios only - Digital/data transmission is limited to 1 seconds not frequent than 30 seconds
  6. Yes, you can copy / paste channels list/details between radios in CHIRP ... I am doing right now, with no problem.
  7. Could you please let me know where in Part 95 it is written? Thank you in advance.
  8. GMRS is allocated 30 frequency channels in the range of 462 MHz to 467 MHz, which are divided into 22 simplex channels (where you transmit and receive directly) and 8 repeater channels (where you transmit to a repeater, which receives and re-transmits your signal on a different channel). Generally, when setting up a frequency channel on a radio, we transmit and receive signals on the same frequency. However, for GMRS repeater channels, we set up transmit and receive frequencies differently; the difference between these two frequencies is usually 5 MHz. In some cases, such as yours, these frequencies may already be pre-set. However, most repeaters require that you transmit a specific tone (often called PL, CTCSS, QC or CG) before they listen to your transmission. Therefore, you may need to set the tone value for the repeater channel you want to use.

    Mr

    I know you didn't tell us your HT details, but for now; You can just tune (manually enter) your radio to 444.825 Mhz frequency to listen to SARnet (The Statewide Amateur Radio and EOC Network) This is the details of the SARnet repeater in your area, for your info: Name : Brooksville Label : CLMHER Status : On-Air Frequency : 444.825 Mhz Offset : +5 Mhz Tone : 146.2 Hz Type : Repeater (FB2) Built : Yes Latitude : 28.55527 Longitude : -82.38787 County : Hernando Region : Central Grid Zone : 17R 100 km id : LM
  10. @Sshannon has a good point, I thought you were asking about only tones... You are trying to program a GMRS repeater... So, you need to put + (plus) for Duplex and 5.000000 (5 Mhz) for the Offset.
  11. Looks correct to me. Why don't you do "radio check" call on the repeater. I'm sure someone responses If they hear you.
