  1. GMRS REPEATER Question

    in Technical Discussion

    Posted

    You might not be on a repeater channel.  1-22 are simplex channels, which transmit on the same frequency they receive. But there are eight repeater channels which allow the repeater to transmit while simultaneously receiving.  Doing both at the same time is called Duplex. Different manufacturers denote those channels differently.  Some continue the numbering scheme and refer to them as channels 23-30, others repeat the 15-22 numbers but prepend or append RP to the channel, like 15RP, to indicate that they are repeater channels.

    Repeaters receive on the 467 MHz main frequencies and transmit at exactly the same time on the 462 MHz main channels. That’s referred to as an offset and it is generally exactly 5.000 MHz for UHF channels (in ham radio also). They need an offset to be able to transmit while receiving. So, in your radio there should be eight repeater channels which are programmed to receive on exactly the same 462.xxx frequencies as 15-22, but which transmit on the main 467.xxx frequencies, where xxx is typically the same for both.  You need to use one of those.

     

    I totally agree that's what I read in owners manual for all six of my owners manual

    in regards to ten codes it's legal as long as you're not talking in codes to commit a crime. The other party said is correct here's a full list of the cb ten codes that can be legally used

  11. Interference from GMRS?

    in General Discussion

    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 use have 2m/70cm and GMRS radios in our home and vehicles without any issues.

    Thank you for the informationn

    100% fine GMRS radios. Perhaps a bit more... legal limited than I prefer, lol.

    I'd be a little careful with programming the Baofeng GMRS one. Had a GMRS Baofeng that couldn't Tx after programming (with Chirp, apparently there's their own software that you're supposed to use)

    I had them programmed by hand instead and it seems to be better without using the chirp software but I agree with you on that thank you for sharing the information

  17. FCC Part 95

    I very well could be wrong on that. I will have to look that information up again. I thought that FRS was limited to 2 watts and GMRS hand held were limited to 5 watts.

     

    Okay straight from the FCC: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-95/subpart-E/section-95.1767#

    It only states that the 5 watt limit is for the interstitial channels AKA channels shared with FRS.

     

    That's correct the FRS is limited to 2 watts and GMRS is limited to 5 watts

  18. FCC Part 95

    I'm going to express my thoughts about the part 95 rulings. 

    To start off, when I applied for my GMRS license, I requested a copy of the rules so I could have em on hand in my laptop. How ever, the handheld transceiver regard to limited power on it said 5 watts. Others today are arguing that truth. 

    Secondly, people are saying that they have the rights to use amplifiers with the GMRS mobile, base and handheld. I'm told that nobody can use a amplifier. The copy of the part 95 rules was updated December 22, 2023. 

    Either way I'm complying with the rules and IMHO I believe that the FCC should crack down on this issue.
