I hear what you are saying. There was no other traffic on the repeater... which is why I asked for a radio check... I didn't hijack the room. Just trying to learn what repeaters are enjoyable to use and which are not. Just took me by surprise...

I agree. I am a HAM as well as a new GMRS user (moving more to GMRS, just because folks seem nicer). Just last evening, I added a stale repeater (open, no permission required to use) to my handheld and received an acknowledgement of my transmission and them promptly instructed to turn off the roger beep. It took me by surprise. Didn't know it was a thing with folks. I wanted to respond back, but didn't want to start a thing... And I didn't know if it was his repeater (and it is always him) or not. Just want to chat and learn...

Thank you

NOTARUBICON has stated that 19 is the go to as well (per his YT channel). Makes sense to me considering 19 used to be the travel channel on CB.

Thank you for the reply.. that isn't what I was asking about.

Thank you. That is what I was asking what a standard input tone would be. I hate to post questions, because they always seem to fall off track. Yes, repeaters can be found but was curious as to the specific 8 GMRS repeaters that are built in. I understand folks put up and pay for their own and use input/output tones on those. Just didn't know if there were anything special about the 8... thank you for the reply.

Was having a great deal of difficulty accessing the programming for my new 935G Plus. After some searching, I found there is an actual program zip file for the 935G Plus on the buytwowayradios.com website as well as a driver that needs to be installed for the programming cable. I have included the buytwowayradios.com popular download link. Thought this might be helpful. Popular Downloads

Sorry if this topic has been discussed before, but I didn't see it covered exactly. Forgive the intrusion, but I see you are very active on the forum. I am a HAM operator and new GMRS user. To that end, I am curious as to the function of the 8 built in GMRS repeater channels. Is there a common key or input/output tone these need to be programmed with? Also, how does that work if there is not an established nationwide repeater network for GMRS? Meaning, how does one travel from State X to State Y and use the set repeater channels? It is merely luck of the draw if you happen to be close to a repeater or am I missing something? Thank you.. WSJL651
