My wife and me are new to gmrs. We are trying to figure this out and do everything according to the rules. We want to learn all we can from all you veteran gmrs users. There are three repeaters in my vicinity that are close enough that I am sure I would have no problem connecting to. They are ,Randolph 725: Wedowee, Al. Cleburne 700: Ranburne, Al. and Carrol 725: Roopville, GA. The owner is WRAN711. Several days ago I left a request for access to all all three of these repeaters and have not gotten a response back. My question is does it usually take this long for a owner to respond.
