I guess GMRS isn't so popular in my neck of the woods!

Do you have an outdoor antenna? unless you have some height, your not going to hear much.

Not yet but I've been driving around with my scanner and a mag mount, only heard one thing in two weeks, sounded like a couple of maintenance people speaking mostly spanglish

When I move down here permanently, I'm going to look into stuffing a couple of repeaters on the roof of a hotel or some other building... maybe the SunTrust Financial Center.

 

As clueless as I am I'm prepared to help if you need

Wish I'd have read this post before I ran off 'half-cocked' *like I always do!

 I have a duplex in Hollywood that I am on my way to. Stopping in St. Petersburg first, but I'll do some testing to see if I can find d anything when I'm here.

 

Hey Marc, 

 

Did you hear much traffic when you were down this way, I'm still not hearing a thing?

Thanks

He may have left but I’m still getting value from this post

Thanks Logan!

 

Looking at the current coverage map for FTL600 I'm just outside, fingers crossed I can hit it with the new upgrade.

 

Not to stray too far from the OP's topic but it seems that there is a definite lack of GMRS activity in my neck of the woods, is this common for Dade?

 

 

The repeater in plantation is a local repeater only, maybe a mile or two. I live in east lauderdale and with a 5 watt radio at 62' and directional antenna, I am unable to hit it. I have been west of 441 and south of sunrise with truck antenna and nothing. I am the sysop for FTL600 and we are prepping for a hardline upgrade, you may have better luck with FTL600 after the upgrade.

Sorry to tell you Howie but I haven't found a GMRS repeater being used in our area (I live in North Miami).

There is apparently one in Plantation but I haven't had a chance to get on it so can't confirm.

 

Maybe good news or maybe bad news but I've been driving around with my scanner the last week between my house and work (Miramar) and have not heard anything on any of the GMRS frequencies.
