I've been a HAM for a few months and I'm bored. I was a ham about 25 years ago and had the same concerns then.
Anyhow, the more I explore GMRS the more I am interested. I just added my GMRS license.
I've got a large UHF / VHF antenna and scan various frequencies, mostly GMRS / FRS, but I also scan EMS and the local HAM repeaters.
I'm in NW Montana (in the woods) and I hear lots of nationwide traffic on 462.600. The repeater identifies as WRHS264, but the only call sign I find is WRSH264 out of Kalispell. That seems too far away for me to hear their signal so clearly. I can't find it on any repeater reference website.
I also hear CW repeater identification on 462.650, 462.725, & 462.6375. I don't see them listed anywhere either.
I'm interested in joining the net on 462.600 -- but I doubt my 25 watts will hit that repeater (if it's in Kalispell) and I don't know the tones for the other repeaters. I don't hear any traffic on them, anyway
Interested in GMRS. I would like to learn more about Simplex Nodes, Repeaters, and the local GMRS community.
Anyone else in NW Montana on GMRS?
