[Now What?]

Hi. I am new here too. I have a Motorola MR350R. It does have GMRS. But, can I use it with repeaters? I have a repeater in my area which has Output freq 462.675MHz and input freq 467.675MHz. What is the third frequency that says 141.3Hz on the repeater? Can someone explain?

 

That's the PL/CTCSS tone...  It's a subaudible tone transmitted along with your audiio.  The repeater will not open squelch or repeat your signal without a matching PL tone.

Were they using voice inversion?

[Yet another Antenna question]

One thing, don't expect *too* much from a rubber-duck...  While antenna is 99% of a radio system, no matter what you will be limited using a portable with a rubber-duck compared to a mobile or base.

 

I use the Diamond SRH77CA on my VX-7R, seems to work pretty well for 2M/70CM.

[650 repeater in NJ]

There's a few repeaters in the NJ area now linked via RoIP using Asterisk/app_rpt and URIx interface boxes.

 

Asterisk/app_rpt is an open source repeater control and RoIP integration software.
