Hello Jack! Thank you for the response! I have my official FCC GMRS license call sign. Got it a few days ago. My radios should be coming today or tomorrow. I’m going humble now... I have an electrical engineering degree but I am lost with how to latch onto a GMRS repeater or how to use the radio features properly. I think I found a repeater near me that may work. Also, FYI, I scheduled an exam session to get my Technician license just to learn more. Is there a better way to message you and your colleagues here when I get my radios for a quick lesson? Like a live chat or something similar? Thanks!

Makes sense thank you!

Hello all, New to the GMRS world. I'm excited to get started. I tried to comb the these forums for an answer but didn't really feel like I found anything. So I'm getting the Wouxun KG-805G. I know that it can link to a repeater. My question is can a GMRS radio link to any repeater or does the description or the configuration of the repeater have to be a "GMRS Repeater"? I found GMRS repeaters vs non GMRS repeaters at the website Repeaterbook.com. Thanks for the time!
