GMRS Repeaters

[WSDZ473]

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

Probably quiet because of cell phones and internet, would be my guess.

There’s a database/map associated with this site that should help. Click on “Repeaters” on the top menu.

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...

Be sure to listen without any RX tones or codes so you can hear what’s transmitted on each frequency.  If you have the wrong code or tone on RX you’ll hear nothing. With no tones or codes you hear everything.

So I just hard the repeater on GMRS 22/repeater, is there a PL Tone to transmit to that repeater?
