WRTT561

I appreciate the input, really liking these GMRS radios. No repeaters in range where I live but might be able to hit one near where I work. Simplex range has surprised me considering the terrain around here. Better than I imagined it would be, especially with out of the box antennas. Downloaded CHIRP on my Linux machine and getting things sorted on my RB27 including adding some VHF high band RX frequencies for scanner use. Already learned so much just stalking these forums. Good stuff. Thanks again.

I just answered my own question after another 5 minutes of searching. Of course it won't work as they transmit and receive on different frequencies...

First post to the forums. Recently got into GMRS mainly as another form of communication when offroading and camping. My question is, if I have two repeater capable radios (RB27, MXT275) on a repeater channel with the same codes set, will they communicate with each other if we aren't in range of a repeater but eventually get close enough to each other for simplex operation? Of course at that point we would switch to a non repeater channel. Be gentle on the new guy please and thanks.
