The real answer is no, but I'm sure he'll make some BS up, or tell you to do your own research. Sadly, I will never know his answer, as he is on my ignore list 

Your fars are limited more by the antenna and location than your RF-electricities, and the coverage radius is an estimate based on whatever the repeater-owner decided to enter, and it may not be based in reality at all..
Whether or not you can connect to/use the repeater depends on what is between you and the repeater.. if its up high on a mountain, with no other mountains in between you and it, then 20-miles is no problem..   If there are mountains, a forest, or miles of houses full of..gravitationally-enhanced people between you and the repeater, then you may not be able to reach it...  The only way to know, is to try it.

As it should be!  This is why I always push to buy things on Amazon - they make it VERY easy to return items for ANY reason.. Try that buying something direct from Chyna!

Use T-DCS.. DCS, DPL, and DTC are all the same thing.
You're welcome.

No, i think it offends his autistic OCD anytime someone does not follow every.. single..rule..ever..written..anywhere...

I have a mental picture of a car in the left lane driving precisely the posted speed limit.

They should all be in prison!!!!1

Which, of the thousands of listed repeaters are you referring to?
Irregardlessly of which repeater you want to use, the basic steps are to request-access to the pacific repeater you wish to use. The repeater owner will then "approve" or deny your request and send you the TX and RX tone and channel/frequency.. 

IF the repeater you wish to use is "open", then no request is necessary and you should see all the info you need on the pacific page for the pacific repeater you want to use.
IF you meant something else, please elaborate.

"all" the other GMRS repeater systems throughout the country are not shutting down.. Many are, but some will choose to wait until the FCC actually does/says something. This site is much more than just some linked GMRS repeaters, so, no, my guess is that there is zero reason for this site to shut down.

See what I mean @marcspaz?
Some of these little fellas just make it too easy. I mean, what kind of a person would get so worked up over videos that nobody is forcing them to watch?
Fish..in..bucket...

If I blocked all of the socially-retarded "licensed" experts and people disconnected from reality in this forum I would have no more stories of "some people" saying retarded stuff!  It's these morons that make me famous!

In my dealings with them they have pretty much stood behind their hardware when it fails.
