The Tabb Repeater is currently offline due to an issue at the repeater site. I contacted the owner & no word yet on when or if it will be back online. Hoping they can find a solution.

We have a few users in the Hampton Roads 757 area. I used to live in Kiln Creek but now live in Chesapeake. Your best GMRS repeater will be the Hampton / Tabb Repeater. If you are on Facebook we have a South East Virginia GMRS Group page if you would like to join. Southeast Virginia GMRS https://www.facebook.com/groups/214198111758035

Welcome to the GMRS Hobby, we are starting to get more users in the Hampton Roads area. There are a few local repeaters but the best coverage repeater is in Hampton / Tabb and is listed below. We try to do a weekly checkin on Friday evenings at 9:05pm using the Hampton Repeater but you would need a high power mobile radio to reach it with a high gain antenna mounted outside. But you might be able to listen and hear the hampton repeater (Link below) We also have a South East Virginia GMRS Facebook group.

I know this is an Old Post but my brother lives in the Leander / Austin area and is recently got his GMRS license. He is currently looking at programming local repeaters in his area into his radio but it appears a few have gone Stale or Offline. Anyone in the Leander / Austin / Round Rock / Pfluggerville area know of any updated or Online Repeaters that get good coverage? My brother would like to build a newtork of GMRS users in his area and possibly look into putting up a repeater eventually but needs help on equipment.

Does anyone know any updates or status of the Tower 98 550 Repeater that used to be in Currituck? Not sure if its still online or not. I have requested access for the PL Tone. https://mygmrs.com/repeater/2345 Van

For those who live in the Tidewater / Hampton Roads area of Virginia. A few of us have started communicating over the Tabb / Hampton Repeater and I have created a private Facebook Group called "South Eastern Virginia GMRS". If you have Facebook feel free to join the group and hopefully we will catch you on the air in Hampton Roads.

New GMRS user here in Chesapeake Va on the southside. I’m fairly new to GMRS but I have recently put a small 2 radio / duplexer repeater at my home for my family to use. Definitely interested in meeting other local GMRS users and repeater builds. Van - WRZI840

GMRS User from southern Chesapeake, just recently joined and building my own repeater locally and hope to improve it. https://mygmrs.com/repeater/8199

Just saw the post on here, I'm down in southern Chesapeake and working on a repeater build. Hope to meet other GMRS users locally and I try to monitor the Tabb Repeater in Hampton when I can. If your interested, I have just recently listed my Chesapeake-575 Repeater this past month on myGMRS site. https://mygmrs.com/repeater/8199 Van

Chesapeake-575 Repeater https://mygmrs.com/repeater/8199 I just installed a simple 2 radio setup with a small Duplexer at my home in Great Bridge Area of Chesapeake. Its only up about 20 ft currently but I want to get it raised higher sometime this year once I get my antenna tower installed. If anyone is interested in trying to hit my repeater in Great Bridge, Chesapeake its is at the link above, just do a Permission Request and I will give you the PL Tone Info. (462.575 mHz) I am currently working on trying to improve it but I think I am getting aprox 6-8 miles coverage.

That may of been my Repeater, I just installed a simple 2 radio setup with a small Duplexer at my home in Great Bridge Area of Chesapeake. Its only up about 20 ft currently but I want to get it raised higher and we are in talks of discussing installing a repeater sometime later this year in southern Chesapeake at a friends business that has a Grain Silo up about 75 feet. That's a project that will require some work and funds to get installed but hoping to get the thoughts started on it soon. If anyone is interested in trying to hit my repeater in Great Bridge, Chesapeake its is at the link below, just do a Permission Request and I will give you the PL Tone Info. (GMRS Ch16 / 462.575 mHz) I am currently working on trying to improve it but I think I am getting aprox 6-8 miles coverage. Chesapeake-575 Repeater: https://mygmrs.com/repeater/8199

Yes the Chesapeake Repeater is near the Churchland area and is back up and running. I’m a new licensed GMRS user and looking to research building a repeater possibly next year in southern Chesapeake.
