WSDZ473 Posted July 14 Report Posted July 14 Why is it that the GMRS channel are so quiet? I never hear anything out of these GMRS channels. Are there any GMRS repeaters in NYC in 2025? If so can you please share the information Quote
Raybestos Posted July 14 Report Posted July 14 Probably quiet because of cell phones and internet, would be my guess. AdmiralCochrane 1 Quote

WRUE951 Posted July 14 Report Posted July 14 No way NYC is quite on GMRS with all those repeaters. Twice as many than Las Angeles and LA is a mad house zoo on GMRS... Quote

If you have the wrong code or tone on RX you’ll hear nothing. With no tones or codes you hear everything. Quote
