The perspective for this post was for people(not me) who buy these legit GMRS HT radios as seen advertised on this site and want to easily get set up with a local repeater and avoid decoding "Plain English". Are you a HAM? I have good feeling you know how to operate radio equipment and bravo to you. Try not to think like a HAM for a minute, think like a newly licensed GMRS family. Who just purchased 4 new KG 805Gs and are legally transmitting with their new call sign, and want to extend their area of communication with a local repeater they found on this site. The radio does not show Freq's. It shows channels. Copy that? Where is the offset settings on these legit GMRS HT radios that they are advertising all over this site? BTW I can tell by reading your "Plain English" that details are not your forte and you can do better.

For the record I have all that info, I can translate FREQ's to channels, I just thought the repeater listings could be more intuitive and there could definitely be more "details" and "specifics". New GMRS radios show channels, not the Freq's and have CTCSS and DCS tone options. I figured that listing more !DETAILS! might help others. Thank you to the people who responded with civility and couth. To the others with Antenna Envy, may you find solace.

I will show you my antenna if you show me yours? Is that how it works here?

Wow, whats with the attitude? Is this a HAM radio forum? Go eat a snickers or don't even comment. I don't care how many repeaters you have set up, buy yourself a trophy or tell your wife about it. Im trying to figure this out and thought this would be a good place to ask questions. Did you build this lack luster website and now you're offended by me calling out its lack of details? I can figure it out for sure. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for the info, I have been using the map to look for Repeaters in my area and I feel like there should be more info about the repeaters listed. (Like the equipment models) It simply states the Frequency, not the GMRS Channel. If the radio is a true GMRS Radio it doesn't list Frequency, only channel. Like my Wouxon KG-805g. Also it doesn't list the specific type of tone to use(ctcss or dcs), and It doesn't specify if its a simplex or duplex repeaters. Wouldn't these details benefit the community? Thanks in advance.

I see some repeaters on the registry here as listed frequencies not on the 8 repeater channels on my Radio. One particular was channel 22. Don't you want your repeater to have offset RX & TX freqs. Like one the 8 repeater channels on my HT? Why would they set it up that way? I also see the the tones listed but not specified as what kind of tone. Are the tones always just ctcss? Thanks in advance.
