I have two kg1000g's im making into a repeater dpoes anyone know if as a repeater can it be used on the mygmrs link nework and here can i get what i need for a node
Does anyone have any advice on the Icom F2000. Just got one for $75.00 on eBay. Can it be programed using Chirp? Is it a good radio for Gmrs.. It is Uhf 450-512 Thanks in advance
Sorry no one is giving you a radio check, I surely would give you one as i have done in the past when i hear someone call for one . How else would you know if anyone can hear you and if your radion is programed to the right pl tones for your local repeater. Welcome to the GMRS world .
I have 3 of the Wouxun KG-805G radios and they are a great little radio . Real sturdy. Nothing like the cheap radios you get on Amazon or Ebay . Easy to program. And I can hit a repeater from 30 miles away at 5 watts that's pretty good. Well worth $90 each
Thanks for that info it helped alot but going through the steps you mentioned i seen some other stuff im not sure about if i havent mentioned im very new at all this. what about the DTMFST S-CODE SC-REV Can you tell me how that should be set . . In my area there are only 2 gmrs repeaters near me only one is up and running the other will be up end of month. I really appericate the help. One day ill be able to pass it on and help someone myself .
Thank you for the info. Im only looking to use it on the one gmrs repeater in my area for me and family nothing more nothing less. I am new at this nknew i needed a license got that part right now just got to save and get better radios All local law and emergency service in my area are on 800 trunking systems there are a few repeaters in the ham range that are used for emergencies off limits when there is a disaster . but im learning so thanks again.
