I am new to GMRS and have local repeaters programmed in, and working. Is there a way to identify repeaters that are linked? I'm kind of thinking about how this might be especially useful while travelling? It might also be cool to have the links or networks have an identifiable name?

JB007,

I tried to answer using my Iphone and it was not successful, so here is what I was trying to say.

I use myGMRS all the time and here in greater San Antonio, there is a linked repeater setup that covers most of the city. If I was a traveler coming through San Antonio (say on I-10 or I-35), it is not a simple, consistent process to locate the repeaters that are linked along my path so I can try to get the best overall coverage as I travel. In SA, there is a website that talks about our linked repeaters, but an outsider would have to search it out and it might not exist for other cities. So, as a traveler, it would be cool if myGMRS, or some central source let folks look it up.

Specific metro areas that I need to look up the hard way will be El Paso/Las Cruces, Tucson, Phoenix, Eastern LA, Calif Central Valley, SF Bay area, and so forth.

 

Thanks, JimInHelotes (73s, if you are also a Ham)
