Gregd63 Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'm new to this site and was excited to see my area had a club. I joined the club and was charged $30.00. There was one post from last year with no other topics or posts. How do I get a refund. I could have bought another Baofeng for that amount!

SteveShannon Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Look at the list of members of the club and write to the owner. But $30/year x 7 members doesn’t begin to cover the cost of four repeaters. I’m not sure what you expected. WRUU653 and WRQC527 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radio clubs I belong to don't post anything, in fact we do almost all our communicating by radio. I'm the trustee of one amateur repeater group and an associate member of another GMRS repeater group. We pay for the upkeep of the repeaters.

Gregd63 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 I didn't know it gave access to the repeaters. As I said I am new. I thought it was just to be a part of the forum. $30.00 bucks ain't bad for that. I repeat I am new and know nothing about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repeat I am new and know nothing about this The MyGMRS forum is free, unless you want to become a premium member which is $50/year. If the club has a private forum I didn’t find it. I would recommend asking what the benefits are for a club prior to joining. I haven’t always followed my own advice.

WQAI363 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Amateur Radio Clubs cover this nation like a blanket in some populated areas. However, I don't see too many GMRS Clubs, not saying they aren't any. But I don't see too many around the Delaware Vally area, at least not well known as the Amateur Radio Clubs. I won't say they aren't any, because I don't know that for a fact. I know that there are a quite of a number of GMRS Repeaters stretching from Ohio Pennsylvania line to the Jersey Shore. A good number of those repeaters have excellent coverage but using them may not be easy for some of them aren't listed on MyGMRS or Repeaterbook. So, you may be driving without notice that it is a closed or semi privet system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
