WRPL668 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Just wanted to say hi to all you professionals in GMRS land. I’m waiting for my Ocean 905G so I can start doing what you all do so well. Let me say I know nothing. Yup nothing. Viewed a few you tube videos an thought I’d try this hobby. I have had a license way back when with the CB craze years ago but moved on. After I get my radio I will probably be asking a lot of dum questions but will read the manual front to back. Will appreciate any suggestions as I’m so lacking any knowledge. Enough ranting as I just wanted to say hi.

WRPL668 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Well the 905 came today. First thoughts are this is no toy. The manual is pretty decent an I have to start reading its charging as I type this. Any first suggestions? thanks, bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don’t know how. thanks - bob i did find a local repeater in Middletown called River Plaza with WQLA648 owner but don’t know how on request permission to log on.

River Plaza: Middletown, NJ - myGMRS.com Occasional use welcome, long term use please ask. Thanks. 6/10 Not sure how the frequency got changed, we're still "575". 10/12 Hurricane Sandy took the tower out. The antenna is good and working off a 10' pipe on the side of the workshop. 11/12 Upgraded the GM500 repeater to a Quantar. repeater. All is well, except for an occasional birdie in the tx audio. 12/12 Replaced the no name duplexer with a high power Celwave duplexer, nice clean tx audio now. 3/13 Aquired a new used but good 60 ish foot crank up tower, Now to rebuild it with new cables and winch. 6/13 PL 103.5 (1A) added to the repeater for a friends use. Please, DO NOT USE. This is being posted for frequency coordiation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRPL668 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 TOM47 are you the owner of the River Plaza repeater? I’ve requested permission to use that repeater but haven’t received permission yet. I’ve not many options of repeaters so your/there’s repeater is important. If not please disregard this note sir. thanks - bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
