Hey all, So I was just wondering, when you go to submit your repeater on MyGMRS, I noticed that there are settings for permission required, members only, etc. However, I noticed another setting called, react only. What exactly is this? Is this meaning it is using a simplex node, or is it something different? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK everyone, so I have figured it out. So to connect to another node, meaning a repeater system that has a node that you can connect to, these are the instructions that I were told. Let’s say, for example, you want to connect to a node, node number, 1234. To connect your node to the other one, you would enter, *3 1234. Then, after you are done, talking on that system, to disconnect from that node, you enter *1 1234. Not sure if that applies for all the nodes, but for the one I’m getting, that’s how you do it.

Hello everyone, so I have a question. I’m thinking about getting a hotspot radio from hotspotradios.com. Once the note is connected to the Internet, and I can access it, how do I disconnect and connect to other repeaters? Let’s say I use zello to talk to a GMRS repeater that isn’t in my area, but I want to use my handheld to talk to it. I’ve been told that you can use the node to connect to it. For example, let’s say the node I want to connect to uses node number 1234. So, when I connect to it what do I need to do, and after I am done, how do I disconnect from it, so it’s back to a simplex node? I hope my question makes sense.

Hello, I am trying to look for some GMRS repeaters in Ohio. There was one, but it has not been put back up for a while, because I think the owner is still working on it. Unfortunately there are no repeaters near me, that are in use quite a bit. The only ones that I could find, were in West Virginia, which is about 15 miles away from where I live, and no one is really on there. I really wish there were more repeaters around or near me that I could use, or that are linked to other repeaters that I could talk to other GMRS users. What do you all recommend? As of this post, I am still in school, getting my degree, and cannot afford a repeater at this time. I am also still living at home.
