WRFP399 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 We need a forum section for the myGMRS Node owners to help each other trouble shoot. Quote
WRFP399 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Posted June 12, 2022 On 4/29/2022 at 9:08 AM, kmcdonaugh said: The "stale repeater" function needs a little updating. Repeater owners will not update their repeaters even if they are online. One year seems fair for a repeater to go "stale". However there should be a button or toggle to let other users, who can hit the repeater, let mygmrs know the repeater is in fact still online. A good example is WRAL242 repeater in Troy, Tx. That repeater is online and I use it almost daily, but the owner has not updated it in a while. It does not show unless you toggle "Show stale repeaters". It would be convenient for people like me who know the repeater is online, to simply hit a button that says something along the lines of "this repeater is not stale" or "this repeater is online". Then it could be on the main map without having to sort through stale repeaters that may be offline. It may also get used more. Not only that but instead of "stale" repeaters they can be community confirmed to be working which might filter out some of the repeaters that are listed but do not exist.

No need to know me or where I am in my opinion. GMRS for me is a utility and not a hang out to meet folks. They have websites for that. kerstuff, WRUU653 and kmcdonaugh 3 Quote
WRVR537 Posted April 23, 2023 Report Posted April 23, 2023 How about a feature using google maps API (or something similar) where I could put in my starting and ending destination, and it would give me a list, or show me on the map, all of the repeaters that would be useful on my road trip?

UncleYoda Posted July 16, 2023 Report Posted July 16, 2023 Would be nice if you added a searchable database field for COUNTY (i.e, state and county search) to the repeater listing. SteveShannon 1 Quote

I built my own version of that and it’s great. Was willing to share with site owner but he has no interest. I have everything loaded up KML for my popular ‘spots’ and my route highlights available repeaters and information needed for my travels…. Really not that difficult to compile. Quote
UncleYoda Posted July 28, 2023 Report Posted July 28, 2023 Some way to tell what information was updated. I see some that were updated x days ago but they look the same. Quote

WRUE951 Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Lots.. So much potential and so much discouragment.. And i'm damn serious Apparently, the 'nut basket' can't sell NUTS Quote
DominoDog Posted January 2 Report Posted January 2 The REPORTS feature seems to offer a bunch of garbage info. For example, if I export a list of repeaters, it fills in the tone data with what appears to be garbage. Maybe I'm reading it incorrectly, but for repeaters near me with tone info that I know is "CTCSS 141.3 TX / 141.3 RX" it will have that info as well as figures in the DTCSS TX/RX fields which does not seem to correspond with anything I was given from the repeater owners. It has this info filled out for every repeater, some of which is definitely different than the tone info I have from the repeater owners. I can try to replicate this if needed. EDIT: Maybe I am unfamiliar. Am I being dumb about something I should already understand? Quote
AlexWRXZ642 Posted June 10 Report Posted June 10 GMRS Live feeds! I could provide a feed. I would love to see something like this because GMRS is not allowed on broadcastify and honestly the only feeds are on YouTube. Quote
GreggInFL Posted July 20 Report Posted July 20 At the moment, a functional map. The page comes up but the repeater sites don't load. You guys stuck in that Crowstrike event? Quote

Guest Posted October 1 Report Posted October 1 Ok, please don't pick up the pitch forks and torches just yet... As a new member of MyGMRS.com I find several things that make me want to just skip past and go watch a u-toob or go out and cut the lawn. In the spirit of brevity I will bullet-point instead of ramble on (like I am already doing + I am required to use a browser I don't like to access the site. The site uses browser specific html. + Navigating around in the site requires repeated logging-in. Possibly a browser issue but even my bank works better. +The Repeater Map does not show known repeaters that can be verified on other websites and through the use of a handheld radio. Repeaters sound different than peer-to-peer communications. (and they ID with code, etc.) Note: I gather that the map is a linked resource... perhaps that resource has been depreciated due to cleaning out the repeater frying pan. (trying to say anything BUT the L-word.) +There needs to be adult moderation of the Forum. I can't have friends and family (this is the core of GMRS) reading the b.s. that might not bother me but is just not what regular adults put up with. Forgive me for being a mouthy newbie. Now you may begin chasing me through the forest screaming for vengeance. WRKW566 Quote
