Perhaps they drive through the coverage area. WRXZ634 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortex2 Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 Good reason not to list a repeater/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfd376 Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 A solid half of the people who don't use my repeater, but are approved, do not live anywhere near it's coverage area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRUU653 Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 Why is there a "Request Access" button on open repeaters? 7 hours ago, RoadRanger said: I just added one and am already getting access requests from people that are well outside it's present range - Oy Vey. Fair question. I don't know how to go about it but I have seen it disabled on some repeaters that are open. I can certainly see why you would want to set it up this way and not be inundated with unnecessary request if you have an open or even private repeater.

Well, it is easy to 'request access' - maybe too easy -- and I would guess that man y users just go "shotgun" with their requests and do not even program them all. Instant gratification is a powerful driver !!! Edited July 10 by WRXD372 spelling hfd376 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8SPVMT Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I do request use if it is an open repeater and I maintain a list of codes for the approved ones. And the other open ones. I know when I drivee thru the area I can use them and have the necessary information at hand. Am a wandering Jeeper and do have my radio on, most all the time scanning.
