Hello everyone, I was wanting to possibly start a net/hub for GMRS users in the WHITE , PUTNAM, DEKALB , and VAN BUREN County region . Currently there is little to no channels being used In this area . If possible I would like help from enthusiasts in this area to come together to make this happen and possibly connect to Oak Ridge and Lebanon repeaters to connect the state . Comment your thoughts please . I’m new to GMRS and just want to help the community grow and connect more people ! Thank you ! WRQZ406

So ive been running a wouxun mobile as a base station for over a year now. It has earned its spot in my ham shack having no issues in over a year. I am getting a couple other brand radios to cover some ham frequencies. Several times in this past year Ive tried to find a reason to dislike this radio that many of the super powers in this forum call junk. i havent run across any to date. We set up and use repeaters which are in very close proximity to very important repeaters. The radio equipment that are being used for the actual repeaters and link radios are a different brand and that is mainly a duty cycle performance of known components. But I have used the repeater with my wouxun radio with no interference in either direction, Some of my ham buddies have switched to the 1000g to run gmrs. One in particular has ove 50 years in the radio world and he describes the 1000g as being solid. So much so that he ordered some more wouxun to run as mobiles. He runs radios for hours every day and continues to say they are solid. I agree completely. So if you are on the fence about this brand, I would say with malice that the 1000g is a great selection for gmrs. WRMK691, KI5UCM

I have a great midland radio that when I had it in my car I was getting out over 50 miles and hitting a repeater about 45 miles away, it was great when I was traveling and could talk to people, right now I took and received my Ham license and have a more powered radio with GMRS channels in it also and now I don't need this midland radio any more. If you are looking for a great radio that will do the job and dont want to spend the money on a new one get ahold of me and maybe we can work out a deal. E mail me at rodprice@ymail.com and we will get together it also come with car antenna.
