If you’re receiving it it’s interfering with your station. But that’s not stated in the requirement anyway: a) In addition to the prohibited uses outlined in § 95.333 of this chapter, GMRS stations must not communicate: (1) Messages in connection with any activity which is against Federal, State, or local law; (2) False or deceptive messages; (3) Coded messages or messages with hidden meanings (“10 codes” are permissible); (4) Music, whistling, sound effects or material to amuse or entertain; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You are rather misinformed. If you use a PL tone on receive, you are only going to hear transmissions that have the matching PL tone. Also, keep in mind, FRS shares all channels with GMRS, so you may be hearing construction works goof around. There isn't anything in the world that will stop those transmissions.

But I run the repeater channels on scan daily because I want to listen out for new repeaters. If I put a RX tone on the channel the deplorable is on, I limit myself for discovery on that channel, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where GMRS differs is that FRS users may not transmit on the main 467 MHz channels (23-30) that are (mostly) reserved for repeater inputs.

Then to have some inbr*eds use the same channels to act a fool to interfere with repeater channels? Looks like this hobby is made for people who are fortunate enough to bring your own audience or enough repeaters and users to have a RX PL tone. But for folks just wanting to make contact and repeater discovery, guess we're stuck with CB 2.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMRS is not a "hobby" GMRS IS intended for people to bring their own audience (ie; your group while off-roading) GMRS is NOT for people that "want to make contacts" It seems you have been misinformed about what GMRS is for, and what its primary purpose is. It sounds like amateur radio or the Grindr app are more of what you are looking for.
