marcspaz - I probably should've done more research about GMRS and the potential devices to use. Well since I already purchased it I'll have to check/research if I can use it for my HAM, otherwise $ down the drain! I'll have to figure out whats a good device for GMRS. OR Do some modifications to it. According to berkinet- thank you for the link, and thanks marcspaz 73!

Hi All, I'd like to use my Yaesu FT-60 for GMRS repeater can this be done? I tried looking around on youtube but was unsuccessful. so my wife (not ham yet) works in healthcare in a skilled nursing facility and the other day I believe it was Tmobile network was down and she was not able to make calls, Not sure what kind of back up communication system they have in place at her facility but I'd like her to be able to call out if needed. I purchased 2 baofengs uv-82 max power mirkit programmed it to GMRS repeater but it only went 1-2 miles out. (i got my GMRS license the other day just so I can potentially chat with her or any family member if needed, and perhaps use during camping etc.) Thanks in advance. 73 km6nji wrht806
