WRBL507 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 What are the FCC requirements to setup a GMRS repeater? I assume no more the. 50 watts? Is their a requirement to broadcast call sign every so often like HAM? What about antenna placement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainehazmt Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 50 Watts is the absolute limit on GMRS.A call sign must be broadcast every 15 minutes. . You might want to check that. The only time it MUST be transmitted is while in use. Not every 15 min 24/7. 95.1751 GMRS station identification.Each GMRS station must be identified by transmission of its FCC-assigned call sign at the end of transmissions and at periodic intervals during transmissions except as provided in paragraph © of this section. A unit number may be included after the call sign in the identification. (a) The GMRS station call sign must be transmitted: (1) Following a single transmission or a series of transmissions; and, (2) After 15 minutes and at least once every 15 minutes thereafter during a series of transmissions lasting more than 15 minutes. ( The call sign must be transmitted using voice in the English language or international Morse code telegraphy using an audible tone. © Any GMRS repeater station is not required to transmit station identification if: (1) It retransmits only communications from GMRS stations operating under authority of the individual license under which it operates; and, (2) The GMRS stations whose communications are retransmitted are properly identified in accordance with this section.

berkinet Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 You are, of course, correct. I was trying to give a basic answer to someone who had some pretty basic questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
