2 GRMS Repeaters on the Same Frequency.

[Mrsig]

I don't need to be told about the law with the FCC please.

Would 2 GRMS (RT97L)repeaters work if they where about 4 miles apart and both set on the same frequency like 462.6000 tone 100.0.

We are looking to extend our coverage in the dense woods and maybe our range.

Thanks for your help.

Would they "work"?: YES

Would they "work" the way you want/the way you are wishing they would to extend each other's coverage?: NO

A repeater can't "repeat" to another repeater, because the output frequency from one repeater (462) won't match the input frequency (467) of the other repeater.

Obviously, they need to be linked.

How would I link them?

Sorry, I was just joking around. The FCC recently made clear that linking GMRS stations over the Internet was against the regs.

And yet, there is a group near me that has almost 20 repeaters linked to the 'net...and even have a zello channel. I'm beginning to think that the FCC's doesn't really enforce anything.

Its cute that it's taken you this long to realize this fact.

They probably respond to complaints, and they aren't getting any.

Okay, they eventually sometimes maybe respond, but don't count on it.
