Apps

Are there any apps that are “common”use in the gmrs world .. either listening to channels like a scanner or setting up the PL to load multiple radios ,, anything like it ?

The only thing I can think of is Zello. It's been a while since I've logged in there but it did have several GMRS repeaters available for listening and some for two-way usage.

Awesome , I’ll check it out . I’m also looking into setting up a base station repeater here in Norfolk .. there just isn’t any thing here .

If you run a linux PC, Chirp is an available app through the PPA repository, as well as some software defined radio stuff.. I have not seen many android apps. but there could be some or you could write an app yourself. android phones have quite a few sensors and GPS, so there are many radio related apps that I can think of. I think some people run repeater controllers with Pi devices running android or a Linux distro, so an app could be written to access that Pi device and make changes to parameters and or toggle TX and transcode audio.
