Thanks Rusty, I've requested access to both Greenville and Denton. Greenville responded back quickly saying I had approval, but I’m only in that area once a month.. Still waiting on approval for Denton. Right now Im only using HTs and really want to buy a 50 Watt for the truck, but will hold off to see how much I use these. I'm so new at this I couldn't say if I'm connecting to repeaters on not. For instance: Greenville 550 shows input and output tones of 141.3. It doesn’t show a +- offset setting. So I'm a still little confused even after reading manuals multiple times. Ive watched almost all of Notarubicons videos and Im going to self label myself as one of the so called "stupid people". I have 3 HTs: Baofeng UV-5R, BR-F8HP and a UV-9G. I also agree that another local repeater would be pretty nice. I pretty much listen to the trash pickup guys fighting in the 463 range and the occasional GMRS call out.

TXFitz, I'm probably newer at this than you ? I've had no luck connecting with listed repeaters so far. Could be my settings, could be my radio won’t reach.

Thanks! I’m just using a couple HT right now. Not sure if I'm going to set up a base at home or in my truck yet. Looks like we’re fairly close in proximity. I'm Near Custer & Virginia by the Aero Club. I still haven't connected to any repeaters and only made contact on channel 5 with a kid and his parent a couple times.

Hello all, New GMRS user here. Looking for other user contacts in the local area to radio check/chat with occasionally. Unfortunately, I've had little success finding any contacts or repeaters in this area other than the occasional child asking if anyone is out there on GMRS5 ?.
