WSDV406

Thanks to WSGH297, WSBM443, WRXS569, (and me, WSDV406) for jumping on the net tonight at the new location of Brentwood 462.600, tone 123.0. See yall next Wednesday at 8pm. Don't be shy. Just key up, check in, and connect with other folks that can hear you. We might need each other one day.

We're moving the club's Wednesday night nets to the Brentwood repeater at 462.600. Tone is 123.0 in/out. Everyone that can hit the Brentwood Grasslands repeater at 462.650 (former location of the net) should be able to hit the Brentwood repeater at 600 just as well. See everyone at 462.600 at 8pm on Wednesday night for a quick checkin net.

Thanks to WRMN250, WSBM443, WRXS569, WSGW884, WSCY890, and a late check-in (on the Gallatin repeater) WSAT493 for participating in the 7/16/25 net. Yall rock. The more we can connect, the better we can become.

Make sure you join our weekly check-in net on every Wednesday at 8pm on the Brentwood Grasslands Repeater at 462.650. The tone is 123.0. Normal +5 offset.

Welcome, 874! Looking forward to catching ya on the air. Plenty of folks here to help you grow your knowledge. Don't hesitate to ask a question. Welcome to the GMRS family!

I wish I could provide some help, but that question is out of my wheelhouse. I sure hope some folks that have much more technical knowledge than I can help you figure out your rx and/or tx issue at the affected location. I hope to learn something in the process, as well.

Welcome Tim! Jeffrey Davis, WSDV406 here, in Hermitage. The Gallatin Repeater at 650 is by far the most active that I hear, in the area I'm able to monitor at least. Other than that, Brentwood 600 and Brentwood Grasslands (also at 650) are the next most active for me. I can't currently reach a lot of yall's great repeaters further south with my current setup. Looking forward to reaching you soon though. Welcome to the group brotha. Looking forward to making contact with ya

I'm your Huckleberry.

Welcome Seth! I'll start monitoring Murfreesboro a little more. I can RX it, but don't think i come through on TX.....not until I get my antenna up on the outside of the house. Same with Lebanon for me. I can communicate clearly through Brentwood and Grasslands though.

Has anyone heard about the brand new BTech GMRS-50Pro? Good god!

Yes indeed. They play Battleship by Radio on the Gallatin repeater at 462.650 (141.3Hz in/out) on Wednesdays at 730pm. The Gallatin repeater bleeds over with the Brentwood "Grasslands" repeater (same frequency, different tone).

Welcome, and glad you're putting that license to use! I recommend (and use) the tid radio h3 and h8. You'll definitely want a few extra batteries if you go that HT route.

Interesting. I actually heard somebody on the Gallatin repeater this afternoon expressing that they were having the same issue. Was that you? I can't recall the call sign of the person that was expressing that issue. I'll say this, I have a couple of h3's and a couple of h8's (and ive programmed several of both for other people), can I have had 1 lemon. It would receive wouldn't transmit, the programming wouldn't stick, and a few other weird issues. So my first bit of advice to you would be order a new one and see if everything works as it should. If it does, then you simply just had a lemon. My second bit of advice would be to unlock it. That's the way I use all of my h3 and H8 radios. See if things work right once the restrictions of GMRS mode are gone.

What mode is your TD-H3 in (GMRS, HAM, Unlocked)? Do you have your repeater channel offsets setup properly?

Nice! Glad yall are enjoying those UV5G+ radios! I hear those are awesome! Note that the Baofeng AR-5RM radio is basically a clone of the UV5G+/UV5RM, BUT is unlocked. So take that for what it's worth. I know that I love having more monitoring options (and transmitting options -- when properly licensed or in emergency situations). Either way, welcome to the GMRS radio world and I look forward to making contact with ya!
