I would like to see some sort of net, I travel a lot away from my wife between Virginia and Florida, it would give us a good way to keep checking in with each other

I found one about 30 miles away from the mygmrs.com website but it doesn't show that it's connected to any other repeaters

I'm new to the gmrs radio world and would like to know if you can connect repeaters to increase my range I live in Virginia and would like to use my radio to talk to family in North Carolina thank you for your time
