Thx for checking. The repeater listed in Prosper TX is down. Looking to hit a couple of others via Hustler mag mount on pizza pan. Will see that that does. If not, stick with Ham for repeater and distance stuff and use GMRS for 2 way radio stuff. Let’s see what the pizza plan can do! Thx again

GMRS seems pretty quiet in N Dallas. There are zero repeaters with hoards of users wanting in … sad, but true. Ham way mo betta

Necrothread … I am in NW Frisco and like OP said 3yrs ago, GMRS appears deprived of decent repeaters in these parts. Anyone in the area having success with an HT? I might add a Midland antenna on a pizza dish to see if I can get any love. Otherwise, will stick to ham freqs and add those to the KG935G+

Thx, up until the last statement. That’s productive.

I hear nothing; no kerchunk Have asked for radio checks - dead air I do have a Yaesu with MARS mod that I can listen / Tx from on GMRS as well. What process could I follow to see if it's setup to the repeater correctly or not? Set the KG-935G+ on RPTR channel 16R (467.5750) and other on 16 (462.5750) ... I've tried this and also get nothing on the Rx unit. Have RT Systems software for all units. Maybe I need to call them? Thanks for the help, all. Sorry to bother with such an elementary question.

Using KG-935G Plus on 5W repeater channels with correct tone and can't seem to reach two closest repeaters - one, 11-14 miles away, the second 18-21 miles away in Texas (flat but congested in N Dallas areas). I'm assuming my antenna (stock) is not helping and I need an extendable J-pole and antenna of some sort. Not wanting exterior antenna (HOA and wife forbids); something I can put up and take down in my home office easily. Advice? Thanks
