Hi all.. FNG here.  Have a quick question.

 

I live in Port st. lucie FL.,  I can receive transmissions from the FP577 repeater.  I would like to know what it is I need to know to use this repeater for local traffic, especially during emergencies.

 

 I have the freq. .. I am hearing the traffic and I should be able to hit the repeater without issue.  

I have been "playing radio" for several decades  so I understand how they work. I guess I am going to need the tone to open the repeater and it does not seem to be listed anywhere.

 

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks, Bill.

Yes, you need the tone. Did you try looking up the repeater on this site?  It should either tell you the tone or information that will help you get it.

Many repeaters have the channel frequency (kHz part) as part of their naming. But .577 is not a valid GMRS frequency. .575 would be. I don't see an FP5xx in the repeater list. Unless you mean the Fort Pierce .575...

The logins don't necessarily always carry over between the forum and the main page, unfortunately. They're a bit more connected than they used to be (the prior forum software, they were completely separate), but it's closer now...my avatars are still completely different between the two, though.


If you hit the three lines in the upper left, you should be able to sign in with the same password as the forum...then try accessing (or refreshing) the repeater page again.

So you need to register separately for the section of the website that includes the repeater directory. Go to www.mygmrs.com and click “register for free”.

It just so happens that the owner of this site is the owner of the Fort Pierce  repeater. I’m hesitant to publish here in the open the tones used for the repeater, but I did report this thread to him so he can respond.

As long as it’s an open system I decided that Rich probably would not mind. I sent you the tones in a message. 
Best wishes!

Beat me to it ? I remember an older post about not posting tone information in public sections (though I forget which sections that is again)...was immediately thinking message, but see it's already covered.

I trust Rich will get the account issue sorted, too.

Of course that means Rich is dealing with hurricane issues also.  I hope he is safe.
