Yep, you'll be fine just running the repeater with the current GMRS license you already have.

Here on LI, NY there are a few dedicated GMRS clubs/groups. I know there is one in Georgia as well. I'm just wondering if anyone here on this forum belongs to any other maybe realatively unknown GMRS only groups out there.
If you do belong to a dedicated GMRS club/group or know of one, please describe their purpose the best you can.

If you use frequency mode, make sure that you get the PL tone and 5Mhz frequency offset right.

Happy New Year as well! Now get that twitter account going

That really stinks. I hate when people ruin things for everyone else.I would rather not get into it, but I have had to shut off my machines of late.
it gets rather annoying.

It would really be nice to talk to some people on twitter about GMRS and it seems like the MyGMRS twitter account is the best place to begin doing that. I think it's kinda a waste of a resource when there could be so many more GMRS stations out there talking about their radios and such on social media.

Yep, n4gix is correct. If the frequency is clear, just announce your call sign with either like what n4gix said "monitoring" or sometime I'll say "WQWI853, on frequency". If I hear anyone then we make sure to ID within every 15 minutes that go by. Most of the other GMRS operators I talk to on the air also clear off the air with their call sign as well.

What exactly has been happening on your systems?

Looking into getting my GMRS license, have ordered 2 Motorola MS350R radios. I realize I have a lot to learn, my question is, with my license can I use the handheld radios and also set up my on repeater or does the repeater require a seperate license?
What PastorGary has stated is on point and accurate. Just get you license and go. Best time to get your license now too since the fee was just reduced from $90 to $65 bucks.
Callsign question - Phonetic alphabet or no?

In my circle of GMRS operators in my area we do not use the NATO phonetic alphabet when announcing our call signs. We just use plain english and ID every 15 minutes. The only time I have ever used the phonetic alphabet was if someone was having extreme difficulty hearing my ID. Other than that using a phonetic alphabet is mostly in the hamsphere.
