Btech gmrs pro using a repeater

[WRVS378]

Im new to gmrs and connecting to a repeater. Can some walk me through the set up?

Sure, first change your radio to the correct repeater channel. Then set the radio to transmit using the correct input CTCSS tone or DTCSS code required by the repeater .  Put your radio in Tone mode, at least at first, rather than TSQL mode. In Tone mode you don’t have to have the receive tone or code set to hear the repeater.

Listen first, to make sure you’re not interrupting someone. Then, when the airwaves are clear, push the PTT and speak clearly into the microphone.

Identify yourself by speaking your call sign at least once every fifteen minutes and when you’re all done talking. Most people will use it as an introduction as well, but that’s not required.

That’s all there is to it. Welcome to the forum! Hope you like it.
