GMRS Repeater in Tucson?

[TonyMLake]

Hello,

 

Anybody know of a *working* GMRS repeater in Tucson, AZ?

 

Especially one that would go from Tucson to Phoenix?

 

That GMRS Base 600 looks good but wasn't working lately... anybody have any successes anywhere?

 

 

Thank you,

 

Tony

Since I'm not in your specific area, I can't provide specific advice. However, my suggestion is to scan around the output frequencies and see if you can hear any repeaters. I have an RTL-SDR that's just about dedicated to that purpose, and it'll even indicate output tones / codes. It can take some time to find a repeater that way, but it's a reliable method if there's no repeaters listed in your area.

I haven't been down to Tucson in a while but I don't recall hearing much GMRS activity on the repeaters listed on mygmrs.  If you're headed up to PHX, have a listen to the AGRC repeater on 462.5500 MHz.  It is located on top of the White Tanks and has a massive footprint, covering the entire PHX metro area and well beyond.  It reaches pretty far down I-10 as well.  The repeater is open to members only, buy on Tuesdays we activate the travel tone on 141.3 Hz and guests are welcome to say "hi."  The first and third Tuesdays of each month we host the AGRC 1900 Net, which is also open for guests to check in and see what the club is all about.  Although we do not operate any repeaters in Tucson, membership is open to everyone in AZ (or anywhere in the USA) if you're interested.    If membership is something you're interested in and you do get a repeater up and running, we would love to include it on our repeater page as well.

Nice - thanks. I will definitely check out the Phoenix repeaters when I get up there. 

 

Thanks again -
