Appreciate this thread as my friends and family are talking about this - managing expectations - how if cell goes down after a disaster it might be days before GMRS repeaters get us in touch. Coming up with a plan for times of day to try, and which frequencies - since we are lucky to have a few repeaters in reach. Just starting out and testing things, so appreciate all feedback, but mostly just chiming in to say a big thank you to all repeater owners.
