WRZV568 Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Looking for any repeaters in my area. I can’t seem to find anything even remotely close to my area. Very close to the West Point Military area and Newburgh. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. As mentioned before, brand new to this so any advice is greatly appriciated Btech pro handheld's Quote
WRWE456 Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Hello and welcome! Can you give us an idea of what you are looking to use GMRS for? That will help with advice. Quote
OffRoaderX Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 My suggestion is that if there are no repeaters in your area, be a pillar of the community and put one up for you and everyone to use! Santiam and WQAI363 2 Quote
WRZV568 Posted January 11 Author Report Posted January 11 I would actually like to do that once I feel confident in using/learning all I can before investing in one. Baby steps for me! Quote
WQAI363 Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Assuming that you know for sure that there's no GMRS repeaters in your general vicinity. Yeh, I would put one up, even if you discover there, are repeaters in the vicinity that you weren't aware of before. I would still put up a GMRS repeater, because you may want to help out community while keeping the lines of communications up when others are down. One of a few differences between Amateur Radio and GMRS. To put Amateur Radio Repeater, requires frequency coordination and since GMRS has only 8 repeater pairs, choose a pair and play ball.
