Dave - I typically monitor the North MPLS/Fridley repeater as well as the West Hennepin SW repeater. Hope to hear you on there!

Glad to see another metro area GMRS’er! Hope to chat over the air soon! -Mac

Awesome! I'm trying to decide between the KG-UV9GX and the KG-Q10G for my next radio... can't make up my mind.... @OffRoaderX what are your thoughts between those 2 HT's?

Sweet! Do you have either the Wouxun KG-Q10G or KG-UV9GX?

I blame you for getting me started down this slippery slope! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My HT collection/journey thus far! Radios in order of acquisition from left-to-right: Baofeng UB-5G, Baofeng UV-5G+, Tidradio TD-H3, Tidradio TD-H8, Wouxun KG-S88G. If you have any questions about any of these radios, feel free to ask! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The repeater tones are opposite of what you want programmed to your radio. For example, the INPUT tone of the repeater is the tone that the receiver is listening for to “accept” a transmission. So, you want to set the OUTPUT tone of your radio equal to this frequency. Similarly, the OUTPUT tone of the repeater is what your radio needs to be programmed to listen for to “accept” the transmissions from the repeater. So, you want to set the INPUT tone of your radio equal to this frequency. It is a bit confusing at first since they seem “backwards”, but you will get the hang of it! It helps to think of it from the “point of view” of the repeater. Hope this helps!

I posted it in the Midwest GMRS Club FB group for people over there as well and let's just say there are some... "mixed" opinions!

I pulled a query from the FCC's database for all active GMRS licenses within the state of Minnesota and plotted the data on a Google Map. I made the map public, and it can be viewed at this link. Hope this can be of use to some people! I certainly think it's interesting :)

I’d say for the most “complete” offerings regardless of price, the Wouxon KG-Q10G and KG-UV9GX come to mind first. The Tidradio TD-H3 and TD-H8 are also great options for a lower price.

I noticed that on myGMRS you can view a user’s location by lookin up their call sign. Is there a “reverse” function of this? In other words, view a list of call signs / myGMRS users in a specified area? Would be cool to be able to add some local users on this website, but also understandable if this feature would be considered a privacy concern….
