Thanks MichealLAX
The small group of us all have handheld GMRS radios that have some Ham but non of us are licensed Ham Operators.
We have heard indirectly that a private repeater in somewhere around us but can't seem to locate (private for a fee were told).
Mesa 725, 650 and rebel are no players in our location.
Sometime I get to send and receive and I turn around literally and nothing.
Suggestion always appreciated Micheal.
