Hi Can you be more specific on what unusual questions are being asked?

Ok so if this is the case my question is are simplex users responsible to check if anyone is using the same frequency on duplex mode? Several times i am chatting with my friends and i seem to hear someone else riding on my friends signal. I asked if someone want to use the repeater no answer and as soon we got back into our conversation it happends again. So i went to simplex mode and sure thing i heard several station chatting on simplex pretty close to me and I told them that there's repeater traffic on the frequency and they were gentlemanly enough to change channels but normally are the simplex users responsiblity to check before they key up? Frequency is 462.700 (No tones due to privicy and owner requset)

Hi Hardly anyone uses GMRS as it is if you do that you might as well dig a grave for GMRS cause no one will use it. That's my opinion of this

@Kevsh Thanks for the information but i am not the repeater owner i am just a user on that repeater, however i don't think this individual was checking to see if the repeater is in use. The reason i say that is because the person keys up while i am in a qso with another station and the station as it was weak into the repeater. Apprently whoever this person is is just trying to get attention but not while a conversation is going on.

Thanks guys greatly appreciated i didn't want to be doing anything illegal.

This question is just for information only. I think the answer is no due to privacy but i have a individual here locally keeps keying up the repeater but says nothing just trying to find out the legality of recording.

I think you are talking about the renegade 2m group in LA?

It's already September any further update on this? I apologize ahead of time if the results already posted.

Same here but i will add hurricane to that.

The reason i asked prior to my relocation i live near a cemetary that uses MURS ch5 from the office to the men on the cemetary grounds is that legal for MURS use?

CAN'T YOU IN THAT CASE DISCONNECT YOUR TRAVEL TONE AND ANNOUNCE TO THOSE ILLEGAL USERS THAT YOU'RE BENIG REPORTED TO THE FCC?

I think it is a good idea that all repeaters(GMRS OR HAM)has that feature in case of any disasters that everyone can be informed and take action as quick as possible.

My question is how do you know if the repeater is active? The database says it is active but how can you tell?

Thanks for the response.

HI CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IN SAYING THAT I HEARD THAT WE'RE DOING AWAY WITH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME??

Just want to verify with everyone here. If a repeater is marked open and when you key up someone on the repeater ask you if you got permission to key up and use the repeater what you do? I asked him to check mygmrs and see that repeater is open but that individual kept insisting that i need permission. SIDE NOTE:I ALSO ASKED FOR HIS GMRS LICENSE # TO SEE IF HE IS LICENSED USER HIMSELF, BUT THAT INDIVIDUAL AVOIDED MY QUESTION ALL TOGETHER

Thanks Pastor Gary try to help out as much as I can on here

Well we actually can't blame the radio company but to those who have surplus gears they want to get rid off and they use the flea market to do it. The sad part is that they do not explain the proper use of the radio and thats where the problens lie. (JUST NOTICED THIS IS A 5YRS OLD THREAD BUT JUST WANT TO PUT MY TWO CENTS IN) Alberto WRCC719

I also hear schools on FRS for their afterschool program. Are these normal use on frs?

WILL A SRJ77CA DIAMOND ANTTENNA WORK WITH THIS RADIO IF SO A NEW RADIO IS ON ITS WAY TO ME.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION GREATLY APPRECIATED

Thanks the reason i ask is that a local repeater (freq not listed due to privacy)has a total of 8 PL tones assigned is that going overboard just a bit? And i think these are CTCSS tones they are using

Just want to know if there is a limit number of PL tone can be used on a repeater? ALBERTO WRCC719

Thanks for the response. I will need to follow up on the rules but again thanks WRCC719

Hi WRCC719 here I just recently got my license and was told tHat you ID yourself at the begining and at the end of a transmission is that still correct? Why every 15 minutes though?
