This is one of the reasons that GMRS and Business/Public Safety radios are required to meet technical specifications for spurious emissions (Part 90 & 95). GMRS is pretty far away from the 70cm ham band. In fact, 70cm ham is co-located with plenty of other users (US military, radar, unlicensed transmitters like weather stations), that ham just has to deal with. There are plenty of public safety/business users between the top of the ham band (450) and GMRS, that GMRS is one the least likely to cause issues.

I actually translated the signal, it's a LifeAlert signal from the Moon. 

What kind of radio is being used? If it's a cheap Chinese radio they're not known for good receivers.
Note that channel 3 is the Interstitial frequency, 462.6125, between the main channel 17, 462.6000, and main channel 18, 462.6250.
For GMRS the channel bandwidth is 25KHz so there is considerable overlap on channel 3 with the adjacent channels 17 and 18.  If the radio doesn't have extremely good selectivity you're likely to experience significant bleed over on 17 and 18 from a strong signal on channel 3.  Also a strong signal on either channel 17 or 18 will bleed over on channel 3.

It was alwasy common to test in the middle when we used CB and think GMRS would be the same. With that said repeaters are 467.xxx and simplex is 462. If you use simplex 99% of the time I'd test on a middle 462.xxx channel. For instance a 1/4 wave should work fine across the board. It realyl depends on useage. For my SAR stuff we always use the National SAR channel for tunign as thats the most important channel we use. Other channels are repeaters and a portable works fine so worring about a great single from the mobile is less concerning. Granted we are all in the VHF side and most folks run a quarter wave to eliminate then eed to tune to a certain frequency. 

You must refer to your manual to determine which channel is assigned to which frequency. Part of the problem is that even though the FCC specifies the channels, they didn’t assign numbers to them. A specific combination of a frequency, power limit, and bandwidth programmed into a radio is a channel.
There are at least two different naming schemes.  Some manufacturers number channels sequentially so the repeater channels simply extend the repeater channels to 23-30.  Some number them RP15-RP22.  That’s because they receive on the same frequencies as simplex 15-22.  The manual of each GMRS radio should include a table that shows the repeater frequencies and the channel numbers for each frequency.
Any of the repeaters that advertise frequencies in the 467 MHz range or channels designated as RP15-RP22 or 23-30 are duplex repeaters. The repeater receives at 467.xxx MHz and transmits at 462.xxx MHz where the xxx portion is often used to refer to the repeater, such as “the 550 repeater “. Unless they specify otherwise they follow the convention of exactly a 5 MHz offset for GMRS.  There are some people who deliberately choose to setup their repeaters with an offset that deviates from 5 MHz, but as far as I know there are no current retail 95E certified GMRS radios that are capable of being programmed with that deviation.
 

It's just you...and me...and everyone else on this site. 🤣

Alright frequency display can be found on menu item 19 on the KG-805 scroll through the options and select Freq then menu to select then exit. It will now show the frequency of the channel you are on.

Along with either the wrong RX tone or the repeater not transmitting a tone, the repeater could be programed to not transmit a squelch tail.  Meaning, when you stop transmitting the repeater stops transmitting immediately or it stops transmitting the RX tone you need the instant it stops receiving your single, and then drops the transmit a fraction of a second after.   That is very common in the DC metro area.

See, this is how rumors start.
One “statement from 2017” hardly counts as “ARRL has been barking about it.”
2017 was when the FCC overhauled the regulations for GMRS. Whenever a large rule change like that is made comments are requested as part of the proposed rule making. It may be that the “statement from 2017” was in response to that. 

GMRS should not interfere with the 2m or 70cm bands. Yes GMRS is close to 70cm but they should still not interfere. The local amateur radio club I belong to has their 2m, 70cm and GMRS repeaters and antennas all on the same tower and we don't have any issues. Plus many of us have 2m/70cm and GMRS radios in our home and vehicles without any issues.

The "bloodline" interpretation works for farms. Often farm families live in different houses within either simplex or repeater range. All three of my sons live within two miles of me, each with their own household. All use my license and identify themselves with my ID + a modifier. This is legal an well within the intent of GMRS. 

It’s not a concern. You have to specifically enable it in a radio AND have to put in the particular code to do it. Leave the code out and “turn the feature off” NOBODY will have the ability to stun or kill your radio. That’s the case for every Kenwood radio I’ve programmed.

The offset is baked into the GMRS radios. All you have to do is select the desired repeater channel on the radio. The offset is already there.

This site lists all the GMRS frequencies and their channel numbers.   Don't worry about the other columns for now, just the channel and freq. Just look up the frequency and see which channel it is.   If your radio does not use the "-R" naming, then just imagine that channel 15-Rpt is channel 23 and continue numbering from there.  That is how you will dial it in on your radio.

Most radios use CTCSS ("PL") tones.   This site lists them:

Good luck!

No, there are posts in this thread from 2018 that include quotes of the rules which clearly show that the phrase “any other networks” existed years ago. 

The hole is only for electricities, not bits or bytes.

This...
The antenna that comes with the 9R is tuned for GMRS because it is a GMRS radio, and IIRC, it does not receive VHF (NOAA) frequencies very well. 

Newbie checking in, just received my call sign earlier this week. What started as a pair of 935G Plus HTs, it is now going further down the rabbit hole, had little idea how deep it is, especially antennas AND height. Base stations, telescoping masts, LMR 400 cabling, etc. etc. A lot to learn.
This is a great forum, glad ot be a part of it.

kind of like what you do against HAMS on a non stop basis..  Boy,   someone really got your goat.   Frankly,,  you are getting old.  Literally!!  

They are likely using tones. If you have a tone set on your RX, it will squelch out any signal that is not sent with the same tone.
Find out what tone they are using and set that in your TX and they should hear you.
You can year signals that are sent with a tone if you use the same tone on RX or no tone at all.

Just a shout out too all, Man I never thought I would learn enough about FRS/GMRS and HAM. You all have got my brain on overload. These forums are great. 
I appreciate you all and your knowledge. 
 

Perhaps it was the wrong receiving tone?

"Take a look at the Motorola XPR "e" series and the Vertex EVX radios if you want to see what a SDR chip coupled with good electronics and a little filtering can look like. Heck, even the older CDM mobiles had great analog receivers with some nice audio."
 
Why I use CDM 1550LS+ (surplus from previous employer) and a XPR7550e for GMRS use now. Great radios that do what I need them to do. And will most likely last for years doing so. 
Better equipment, and paying attention to detail on coax and antenna means better signal quality, less power loss and more reliable use. 

That definitely sounds like an emergency situation!
