"It retransmits only (only is key here) communications from GMRS stations operating under authority of the individual license under which it operates" = family "and" (also key) "The GMRS stations whose communications are retransmitted are properly identified in accordance with this section." = they follow identification protocol

Looks like there is one on Renegade Mountain (Crab Orchard 700) that is linked. It's a bit away from you but looks to have good coverage and is open. There is one closer that is a members only. As @Sshannon mentioned you will have more access to request repeater access once you get your license and log in. Also when looking at the repeater map click the gear in the upper left corner to show offline and stale repeaters. You may see some that arn't shown and are active.

Thank you @Sshannon your examples should make it easy for people to grasp the rules. The only reason the repeater is not required to ID in scenario one I believe is that it would be redundant.

Welcome Welcome Jay, we have friends in Flagstaff… nice place.

There are aps for the iPhone but I haven't found them to work all that well. I think it's really for the FCC if they/you need to identify an issue and where it's coming from. this^^^

It’s a feature… new heat sink design ?

Definitely what it looks like. You’re welcome ?

No idea what kind of frequency tuning that has but the G11 is listed for it.

Hey check this one out. https://www.elettrovalentino.com/en-us/r73197-midland/

Wow! ? Thanks for the info on your experience @marcspazand @wayoverthere. KG-1000plus it is then.

I’m with you on this. I do like the price point and it looks like you can add as many extra repeater channels as you like which is a plus.

Yep we all know the rules as they are now. This thing ain’t new. It’s off eBay. It looks to have a removable antenna but as I said not likely going to find an improvement out there. According to this Two Way Radios forum (here in the U.S.) it does not have the middle FRS channels. I’m no expert on this thing nor do I care to be one. Just trying to give accurate info on what he has without assuming it’s what it looks like to all of us. Please let us know if the antenna was in fact removable. https://www.twowayradioforum.com/t/need-replacement-g-11/6058

I’m not so sure that’s correct. While this looks like a typical FRS bubble pack this is an older GMRS 15 channels radio and I found some info indicating that the antenna was removable. I found this https://www.midlandeurope.com/en_150/products/short-antenna-for-portable-radios It does look like some proprietary Midland thing though and I’m not sure you’ll have luck replacing it with anything better. Good luck.

Something else to consider for your list is a way to ID your repeater if you are going to make available for people outside of your immediate family. Something like a ID-O-Matic…

Have you tried logging in? You have to log in separately for the forum and the repeater page.

LSD near Lakeside and SD-TAC near San Diego look like they may be in reach for you. Give them a shot.

Thanks. I don’t have that one plugged in yet. I’ll add it to my list of “frequencies to monitor”. I keep a short list of things to see if I can receive.

It sounds like we are programming some of the same areas. Though I don’t have my ham license (I may jump in a some point but that just means more radios…?), I do monitor central coast Ham frequencies occasionally but have GMRS mostly programmed. I also have the Auberry repeater you mentioned in for when we head up to the mountains.

Welcome @Tomdubya . There’s a good group of helpful knowledgeable people here.

Much like @wayoverthere not so many here that I can’t remember them by name. I’ll abbreviate if needed. Most of my out of area ones are by name also but ones I rarely would need are by area. I keep the local ones organized together first, a bank of repeater channels with 141.3 tones for travel second and out of area but likely to use in a third set.

turn it off, if you want beeping to stop that is ?

Just a thought here. A lot of cigarette lighter type plugs have fuses in the cord/plug. Unscrew the plug and check for a blown fuse in it if you are using it for your power source.

just be forewarned you won't stop there. I think @Sshannon said something like "how many radios is enough"? The answer, Just a few more... ?
