If you use FB on your phone its tracking you as well, Google maps keep track of your locations as well.

Yes this is correct, the continuous pinging was put into effect back in mid 90's early 2000's for the purpose of 911 being able to get your location if you were calling for help. The only way to stop it is to take your battery out. even powering it off will still send an LNL(last known location) ping just before its fully off.

Thanks I appreciate it very much. im listening to the check-in now.

I here a net check in for the CT area.

So is there any other way of contacting the owner besides FB, thats kind strange to only use that as a means of communication. I haven't had great success getting my access to my account since it was disabled in Nov of last year. I don't use it much so I was a bit confused as to why. So if there is any other way to request access please let me know, thanks

I was just informed by Manchester Ham Club about this repeater.... hmmm. now i have to deal with FB..ughhh!
-
@SteveShannon I figured that much. oh well guess I better get to studying for the Ham test.

Welp it's come to my conclusion that there are no local repeaters on GMRS operating.... only chatter I hear is what appears to be on GMRS16 and RPT2 so they must be on their own repeater coded. I can't get a response out of anyone, or they just don't like new people trying to communicate...lol Plus im using my 701g antenna and not sure if its getting out there or not... might try the included 15 inch extended antenna...

Great Question.
-
@OffRoaderX WOW! I'm a big fan of the channel!

Thank you all for the assist. I appreciate all the feedback.

I was going by the info given for a few GMRS Repeaters in CT Area Like Greater Hartford Repeater that one has Both input and output Tone at 192.8. but it has in the notes Output is at 462.650 which is same as Freq. that's where the confusion came in for me. I did program my Ham UV-5g manually then went back and added all the Names in via CHIRP, so i am familiar with programming. its just how the info is listed in the database on here
-
ok thanks, now my other question is if you are using chirp to do your programming? it Tone Mode has only Tone, TSquelch. i chose TSq. and entered the provided tone. but not sure if i'm connecting or not. I hear nothing. yes, I am using a GMRS Radio UV-5G.
-
Hello All I am trying to connect to a few repeaters in CT area. I am not able to connect with the info provided. I am wondering if the Tone is with Offset + 5 ? I read somewhere that all repeaters have offset + 5 in order to use them. Is this correct?
-
Does anyone know what freq. is for travel tone? I hear there was one. please provide all the information . Thanks WSIK532
