I am new to GMRS. So, I added a request to access a local repeater. The request has gone unanswered (been 5 days, maybe I'm being over anxious?). And, the request is not showing on my home page as PENDING (I would think that requests that have been sent, but not answered, would be PENDING).
Query 1: Do most repeater owners answer fairly quickly, am I being too anxious? Obviously, I would like to program my radio for the repeater but I am not going to do so until I receive an acceptance.
Query 2: How does the repeater owner control who has access to the radio when frequency, codes, etc. are published for all to see?
Thanks,
