Depends on the coverage area of both repeaters. If they overlap, you will have interference when both are transmitting at the same time. Having different squelch tones is not the same thing as having different frequencies. My suggestion - Set the second repeater at a different frequency to avoid potential problems.

Wrong Again - No Lesson - A Mis Read On Your Part - Again..... NFPA 70 Is The Standard For The Nation Electrical Code.

NFPA 70 Is The National Electrical Code Sir.....

No, Not Really - You Did Not. When You Take The Time To Read NFPA 70 - Attempt To Understand It - Get Back To Me.

I Do - Do You... Need To Read The Sec I Sited.....

Suggest You Re-Read NFPA 70 - Chapter 810.15 Addressing Communication Site Grounding. (2023 Version) I Am A Licensed Inspector In The State Of Michigan, & NFPA Is Recognized In All 50 States. (Year Of Adoption - Same As Previous Versions.)

That Sir, Is Not Correct. I Suggest You Do Further Research, And Consult The Motorola R56 Manual For Site Grounding Requirements For Commercial Sites. See Link: https://wiki.w9cr.net/images/1/14/Motorola-Standards-and-Guidelines-for-Communication-Sites-R56-Manual_68P81089E50-B.pdf

Dude - You Are Spot On....... Some Folks Are Just Plain Ignorant With Their Self Justified Rational / Reasoning......

You Need To Ground The Tower Leg. The Antenna Is Already Connected To The Tower For Grounding Purposes. The Coaxial Cable Should Also Have The Shielding Bonded To The Single Point Ground System. Unless You Have A Particular Type Of Commercial Antenna That Has Designated Grounding Straps At The Antenna - The Type Of Stick Does Not Matter. A Lightning Arrester Is Also Recommended - PolyPhaser Makes An Excellent Arrester, Used Frequently On Commercial Radio Sites.

So Put Up Your Own Repeater On That GMRS Frequency. He Owns The Repeater, Not The Frequency Or Squelch Access Tones. Repeater CWID Is Not A Requirement, Nor Is That Relative. Not Sure Why This Is Such A Big Deal. The Repeater Owners Have Their Option For Allowing Use.

Rules Seem Pretty Clear To Me. 95.1705 Individual licenses required; eligibility; who may operate; cooperative use. (d) Individual licensee duties. The holder of an individual license: (1) Shall determine specifically which individuals, including family members, are allowed to operate (i.e., exercise operational control over) its GMRS station(s) (see paragraph (c) of this section); (2) May allow any person to use (i.e., benefit from the operation of) its GMRS repeater, or alternatively, may limit the use of its GMRS repeater to specific persons; (3) May disallow the use of its GMRS repeater by specific persons as may be necessary to carry out its responsibilities under this section.

You Just Posted It..... Another Attitude - Please Re-read My Post - Or Not...... Peace Out.....

OMG..... Unbelievable.... Maybe All You Folks Should Consider Talking On Your Radio Stations Instead Of Constantly Arguing, Bickering, & Discussing On How They Are Supposed To Perform Better According To Your Opinionated Logic Of The GMRS / UHF Frequency Band, & Everything Else Involved....... Not Sure What Else To Say, But It's A Pretty Sad Rendition Of Folks That Should & Definitely Know Better With All The Knowledge That Exists On This Form. Folks Just Need To Loose Their Attitudes & Share Their Supported Knowledge........ Thx Bob Somers - WRXL702

If The Repeater Owner Has Previous Approved Or Denied Requests Attached To Their myGMRS Repeater Log, The "Request Access Disabled" Function Is No Longer An Option, Regardless Whether The Station Is Listed As Open - With Or Without The Squelch Tones. The Only Way To Correct & Have That Option Available, Is To Delete The Listing, Which Deletes Previous Requests, & Re-post The Repeater Station. Some Repeater Operators In WI Done That When They Went From A Paid To An Open Repeater Station.

The Frida 700 Station Has Never Been Built Out Or Put Into Service. Some Folks Like To Post A Station To Mark A Geographic Area They Are Considering For A Repeater Someday. The Problem Is That "Someday" Doesn't Seem To Happen. You're Welcome To Put In A Request For My Niles 725, It's In Service & Has A Good Footprint For South Western Lower Michigan & Northern IN. You Will Also Receive The Indiana Osceola 600 Which Covers A Portion Of Southern Michigan As Well........

Then Folks Should Refrain On Commenting "Not Quite" If They Are Siting An "Example / Opinion" Of Documented FCC Definitions.....

FCC Part 95 Subpart A - 95.303 Definitions: Base station. A station at a fixed location that communicates directly with mobile stations and other base stations. Fixed station. A station at a fixed location that directly communicates with other fixed stations only. The Term "DATA" Is Not Referenced In These Definitions For The Type Of Transmission. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-95/subpart-A

Nitrogen Is Used On An Air Dielectric Coaxial Cable To Keep The Cable Slightly Pressurized & Reduce The Chance Of Moisture Infiltration. It Is Never Required For Any Purpose Or Use On Foam Type Dielectric Hardline.

Then Why Post A Deffiniton Of "Code Talker." Makes No Sense & Totally Irrelevant. FCC Definitions Are Quite Clear To Me.......

"Code Talker" Is Not Mentioned Anywhere In FCC Regulations, Part 95 Subpart E Why Are You Displaying Definitions For Terms That Are Irrelevant ? The Part 95 Regs For GMRS Are Quite Clear - Guess Folks Just Need To Learn How To Read & Understand Them.....

Well..... Sorry You're Not Impressed - This Site Is Outstanding You Are Unfortunately Wrong - There Are Many Daily Posts Containing Great Info & Discussions And It's Too Bad You Don't Have An Adequate Security Subscription In Place To Guard Against Possibly Some Of Your Previously Scrupulous Websites You Have Visited. Don't Throw Blame That You Cannot Confirm. Rich & His Staff Has Done One Hell Of A Job On This Site & It's Offensive That You Post This Type Of BS Be That As It May: Maybe GMRS Radio / Forums - Are Not For You At All.....

Folks Need To Remember / Research NAFTA, & How It Has Miserably Failed...... Originally Drafted In The Late 70's & Only Major Corps & Investors Benefitted. NAFTA Destroyed US Manufacturing...........

Wrong, Wrong & Wrong..... This Is Not A Squelch Tail, It Is The Repeater Hang Time Where The Transmitter Remains Open, But The Receiver Is Closed Waiting For The Correct CTCSS Or DCS To Reopen The Receiver For Retransmit. It Is Normally Set To 2 to 3 Seconds, Not Minutes. The Intent Purpose Of A Repeater Hang Time, Is To Enable Users To Reactivate The Repeater With The Correct "Tones" So As Not To Have A Repeater Drop Out Completely & Restart The Transmit Cycle. Squelch Tail Is Something Completely Different, & The Repeater Hang Time Is In Place To Help Continue Convos & Should Be Used For It's Intended Purpose To Save On A Complete Restart Of A Repeater..........

Mr Shannon - You Are Point Blank Wrong...... Re-Evaluate Your Research...... Again, As I Stated Yesterday On Another Forum Question, There Are Those That Will Consistently Argue There Point To Get The Last Word. All Cell, Public Safety, Municipal & Commercial Radio Site System Installations - Wrap N Connectors For Moisture..... I Can See Why, Among Other Things, WRKC935 Bailed On This Ridiculous Forum, As Is Mine After Tonight. Too Many Book Smart, But Street Less Then Street Knowledgeable Folks Posting Ridiculous Opinions For New Users. Good Luck To You All - Hope You Get In Your Last Word - Peace Out...........
