I have a set of radios one set for transmit and the other receive with a PL tone not listed near my area so it is an open pair. The transmit wattage is 20.
I have a way for it to ID if necessary both voice (and code if permissible).
Can I ID in code and at what interval must or do I not have to ID it? How often does a GMRS repeater need to ID itself if at all?
I have a diplexer and a 5/8 wave ground plane.
Basically everything in hardware. I am not sure who I need to get with. Do I need to file for a special license? Does my repeater need FCC approval to begin operating?
I want to be on the up and up so any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask...I just signed up here...
