Hi everyone. Glad to find a resource out here! New to GMRS ( had my license for less than a week). I have a B-Tech GMRS-V1, and a small collection of all kinds of strange things GMRS (several Archshell radios that I was able to program with CHIRP). There are a couple of repeater sites listed on the cape- but I have no clue how to even begin to program this V-1 to use them. Hoping someone can help, and even better if there is someone local!
Thanks!

Thank so much for the reply! That link (miklor) is super helpful. Based on the info in that, I think now I just need to drive towards the repeater and see when (if) i can get into it... this goes back to your point mbrun, about understanding the limitations associated with my radio. Based on the available data, i think there is only the one current repeater in my area. With that being said, I think for a small investment, it might be helpful to simply add one on my property. I see a basic simplex repeater is short money (but somewhat annoying).... with a big radio being the most expensive component.
What do most repeater sites use in the GMRS world? Do you all tend to stay with "cost effective" and go a simplex repeater, or would you spend the additional money and go with a duplex setup?
To further on the last- i already have a small contingent of neighbors (within a 5 miles radius) interested in the GMRS world, so cost sharing is an option too.
