[is anyone using GMRS in the little rock area?]

I would check mygmrs.com to see if you have repeaters in your local area. To answer your question on wither gmrs dying off in your area is open for interpretation

[Simplex or Repeater primary usage?]

I do both. But I'm primarily on repeater. The main reason I'm on repeater is for distance communications and simplex for local traffic within one or two miles from my location.

[Call signs]

Does anyone actually use them. I have been using gmrs for a few months now and the only callsigns I have heard used are on one of the repeaters I pick up. It's a group of guys who are truck drivers/dispatch but also hams. Other than that every other repeater and 15-22 I am yet to hear one. I was using mine but honestly now I just use it to clear the chanel at the end

By FCC rules you need to indentify your station every 15 minutes when you have a QSO and as you said to end your conversation and sign out too.

Hope they add a fan on the500 and 575, my 400 get so hot you can barely touch it!

Depends on how much power you put into it.

[FCC Report & Order - GMRS License Fee Lowered to $35]

Well that sucks cause my license don't expire until 2028. I really wished they did this earlier

[Good SWR needle meter?]

Hi

I wouldn't know what brand meter that youll be needing so I would recommend either looking on eBay or Amazon. Hopefully there you'll be able to find what you need.

[How to enter in a frequency on the MXT400​]

It depends on which repeater you want to listen to 550 is on 462.550 and that is channel 15 each different repeater has different ctcss tones you got to look up the name of the repeater and find out the tones

[How to deal with malicious and criminal interference]

What location are you in and what frequency that the interference is on? And you are correct in saying that this incident has criminal intent. Just let your daughter know if that person comes on the air again and ask her personal question that she do not talk to that person.

Recording is a good idea but whoever the person is may not be in one location and may be moving around so that he cannot be traced exactly where he's at. I would just notified the local authorities and let them know what has been going on. And inform the FCC of your current situation. Other than that I cannot give you any suggestions on what to do I wish I can do more

[GMRS Repeaters]

Hi,

 

I am brand new to GMRS and own a Baofeng UV-5R. How do I tune the tone-in and tone-out frequencies?

I'm not sure what you mean by tone in and out?

I'm aware you said simplex is not allowed may I ask why?

[CW code on Channel 3 in central eastern Minnesota]

Also it's GMRS CH 18

[CW code on Channel 3 in central eastern Minnesota]

You may also have picked up the repeater id tone for ch18

[CW code on Channel 3 in central eastern Minnesota]

Hi the frequency you posted is FRS (Family Radio Service) CH3 you may have picked up stray signal coming from the frequency. Please note that GMRS CH 18 and FRS CH3 is close to each other frequency wise CH 18 is 462.625 and as you posted FRS CH3 is 462.6125 as you can see the frequency is only 12.5khz away from each other. (PLEASE CORRECT IF WRONG)

[Warning Points]

Only you can see your own warning points section

[Listed Repeaters NOT ON THE AIR]

Technically, in order to have a repeater online, it has to have a licensed owner/operator, and thus would have a valid callsign, since that device would be broadcasting your input.

Thanks for the quick response

[Listed Repeaters NOT ON THE AIR]

Hi this is more a question than an answer.

 

I just want to know is there any rules stating that repeater owners that list their repeater have to have a valid callsign to list their repeater on here. Is there a rule in general that the owner have to have a GMRS license?

[So I heard something that sounded like Motobro or DMR.]

That also maybe the Medics on the field and the hospital conversing. Those conversations are normally encrypted so that might be what your hearing.

[So I heard something that sounded like Motobro or DMR.]

THATS FRS CH7 THAT IS A SHARED FRS/GMRS FREQUENCY IF IM NOT MISTAKEN. ABOUT WHAT YOU HEARD IT COULD BE ANYTHING. I DON'T KNOW THE AREA YOU MAY BE IN BUT THE ASSUMPTION OF HOSPITAL USE IS NOT FAR OFF.

[Tampa 672.575 repeter]

I think it is 462.575 your looking for. There is no such frequency(672.575) in the GMRS band

[Does CTCSS ruin GMRS/FRS?]

Tones benefits all of us. There are so many stations on 1 frequency you will hear every stations on the same frequency without the tones and you talk about interference

[Are MURS radio allwowed for business use?]

Thats what i thought thanks for the confirmation

[Unidentified Sound]

What frequency is it on and your location when you heard the sound?

[Trouble getting license]

Thanks.

 

He told me the questions were of a personal nature, not what one would be asked when making a payment on-line. he said he felt it was very suspicious. That is all I know.

Yes you need to be careful things like this website like this can be spoofed by people who wants your info to do bad things. The main thing is your identity.
