ussixtysix Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hello all. I'm new to GMRS so I'm not sure if the community is very large. I'm used to the Ham Radio world. Which as you may well know. Is robust down here. I recently got my hands on a GMRS licence and have found zero activity around theses parts. No response from the repeaters. Cant even get a radio check. What say you all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taco6513 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 I have made 2 contacts in the last several weeks. One is licensed and the other is not. Just local low power FRS users otherwise.Search the FCC data base for GMRS licenses in your area. Find them. In my neck of the woods they are few and farbetween. Take a look and see what you find.WRCW870 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRAK968 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Welcome to My GMRS,The main site, Mygmrs.com has a repeater listing and even a map (For some reason the map doesnt work for me, I think its because it uses a lot of ram so runs slow, but the repeater list still works)Looking up Fort Myers FL gave me this repeater:https://mygmrs.com/view?id=2391 Note, Its against forum rules to post repeater frequencies and codes on a forum post, which is why I sent you the link. To view any info there you will need a Mygmrs account which is free, but is not connected to your forum ID or code. When you log in you'll be able to see the following:Repeater input/output frequenciesRepeater input/output tonesWhat networks the repeater is a part ofSend requests for permission to use closed/private repeatersAlso, if you wish to build your own repeater your MyGMRS account will allow you to post your repeater information to help with frequency coordination. I would like to note that you should first check for active repeaters in your area as GMRS is limited to 8 repeater pairs in the 462/467 range.If you need anymore help or have any questions feel free to send a PM or post here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
