Yes, I see that now.

Unfortunately, where I live in rural Nor Cal, you can't swing a dead cat around without hitting somebody's "private" repeater.

Often on the same frequencies and tones.

Might as well shut my radios down and throw them away. A shame that "public" frequencies aren't "public".

One advantage of amateur radio is that there are repeater counsels to help prevent that kind of mess. Though that is harder to do with GMRS repeaters since there are only 8 repeater channels available.
