  1. You dont need a licence to set up a GMRS repeater. You need a GMRS licence to use it.
  2. I searched "Yagi antenna calculator" here is a site that offers a calculator, if this is what you are looking for then get building!! There are others too. Good luck http://www.csgnetwork.com/antennae3ycalc.html If you get it done, post your results, it would be nice to see!!
  3. The liaison person sounds like a more practical way of operating. A lot of great info on the NSEA website. Thanks
  4. During a community event which usually has police on hand because of crowds and traffic; parades, holiday tree lightings, park concerts etc, local GMRS licensees may be attending the event or could be organized specifically to keep an eye out for any and all emergency situations. The Community radio group would coordinate frequency and other pertinent info regarding the participants etc to the police authorities. The best case scenario would be repeater operation so that all calls to the police could be to a control station/dispatch. All calls would be to the police dispatch would then contact the officers Patrolling the event. This of course requires the complete cooperation of the police. They would have to tune radios to GMRS frequencies. They would have to want to do this. I interpret the emergency use provisions in the GMRS rules to allow such use. I suppose the legitimacy of the Community radio group would have a lot to do with whether or not the police would want to partner with them. Thank you to everyone who has given input.
  5. Are any of the GMRS networks throughout the US have a relationship with local law enforcement? The ability to communicate emergency information is an obvious advantage of any network, but who is listening or able to react to an emergency call situation. Are there networks who have approached local authorities and were brushed off? Just trying to gather information about what some groups may have encountered regarding this topic. Thanks for any and all input.
