Hi everyone,
New to world of gmrs. Have a Uv5r+. it came programmed with ~50 nearest ham repeaters. I understand simplex comms, but my question is if a buddy has the exact same radio/programmed the same way, wouldn’t we be able to communicate via one of the local repeaters we are both in range of that’s programmed in our radios? So if he goes 1 mile away and we lose connectivity with one another, shouldn’t we be able to tune into the same local repeater and now communicate? We do not have Ham licenses but do have GMRS. Should we be finding the nearest GMRS repeater and communicating through it?
trying to understand the difference. Thank you!
