Again, I ask. if you need permission to use a listed open repeater why not list it as a permission only repeater? To me that would have been better and that's what I would've done.
Why does repeater owner list the repeater as open with the tones listed and when you key it up the owner comes on and say that you need permission. if he was going to do that, wouldn't you list it as permission only? To top it off i was denied use of the repeater because I argued with him. Was this the proper way to go do thing or this is the norm on GMRS?
Another question I want to ask everyone is that if you own a repeater can the repeater be programmed to use inverted tones also? I got a project going on and I want to make sure i'm doing it right so that's why I'm asking the expert
Have you put a Watt meter to the Radio and have it confirmed that it transmitting 8 Watts? They say it transmit 8 watts so you be suckered into buying the radio and comes to find out it doesn't transmit the 8 watts it claims to.
