Nice; appreciate it!

I absolutely would if I lived there.

Does this site have the ability to send notifications on new repeaters being added? I'd love to get an email anytime a new repeater comes online in my state.

I travel to Charleston a few times a year for work; probably my favorite location on the eastern seaboard. It is really surprising there are no repeaters there...most of the guys I know down there are the kind who would use them. Here in the DC area we have a big selection of powerful repeaters. Of the two I frequent the most, one is 30 miles away, the other 52 miles. I can talk on either from a handheld inside my home. I scan everything and we have far more GMRS than HAM traffic.

I've been hoping someone would put a repeater up in Charleston...kinda surprised there are none in the area

I noticed on my phone, in Chrome browser, I see the full VA list. The original issue I mentioned was on my desktop (PC,) and persists.

On the repeaters page, if I choose Advanced Search and select Virginia, it's only showing me 3 repeaters. Am I missing a step?

I wouldn't say I'm hearing traffic updates consistently. There are some at times, mostly on a couple area repeaters I've been monitoring for months. My point was that I'm hearing general "banter" between gmrs users on an almost daily basis, especially during rush hour. Most of the time it's talking about their gear and determining reach.

First post, and I've had my GMRS license about a month. My experience so far has been the opposite. I'm in the Washington DC area and driving in rush hour traffic I've been hearing random comms daily. Strangers asking for radio checks, discussing traffic or gear and distance/locations. Same thing at home where I can reach a local repeater. I, of course, also hear the kids, construction workers, parents, etc...but there is definitely a ham/cb vibe in our local GMRS.
