Yep, I'm in Texas hill country and wedged inside the coverage gap between two local repeaters.

Hey all, I'll preface this by saying other than tuning in a music station I know diddly squat about radios. I have a nagging question. If GMRS radio is truly 'line of sight' and I have a tough time talking to someone 1/2 mile away due to trees, geography, buildings then what's the point of this all? I know there is a point but I'm just not getting it. If I need to 'see' the other person why wouldn't I just walk up to them and chat rather than using radios? I want to be ready in the event I need to use my GMRS radios for an emergency but I'm getting the sense I know nothing of the power I yield in my hand. Thanks!

Repeater Access (simple question)

Hi all, Just got my GMRS license and fairly new at this so forgive this silly question: if a repeater is indicated as a TYPE "Open Source", do I still need to request access? Thanks, RobP (WSFR422)
