Bobuff977 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 We are happy to announce we will be having a monthly test & tune day. This will help provide a platform for members to test radios, antennas, locations and things one needs to better further their knowledge of their GMRS radio operations. We hope once a month isn't enough and test & tunes will become the GMRS get out and find out days/weekends. More to come. Contact me if anyone has a day they might be testing.

Bobuff977 Posted July 28 Author Report Posted July 28 Test & Tune If any members would like to do some research with their equipment whether it’s long range simplex, short range simplex, repeater hot spots, test something new or breaking out the HT’s for a good range check or which antenna works the best etc. Also, If anyone would like to add a time and day, just have your date and times ready, message me here in MyGMRS.com or get on the repeater contact WSHD977 and I'll take it from there.
Bobuff977 Posted 15 hours ago Author Report Posted 15 hours ago We had a great test and tune session on August 29, 2025 to find out more about test and tune dates attend a net on Thursdays at 7:30 pm. We logged locations where you can reach the repeater. We started around 9 am and it lasted till late afternoon. Thank you to WRMA779 and WRCY622 for your attendance in helping out. We where able to get some great information on the repeaters strengths. We reached downtown ST Charles from the top of the parking garage at St Josephs Hospital. Busch wildlife at lake 2, all along Hwy 94 and a lot of Hwy k. We used multiple radios from HT's to mobile setup and base units, antenna types as well. We had a good time doing it and look forward to the next. Until next time 73's WSHD977 clear.
