PBRStreetGang Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I'm hitting a repeater network that I can hear near Casper, but which has traffic all the way into Montana. Calling in on simplex, I'm told that its a system linked into the internet. A couple of questions. One, I don't grasp how this works. Two, is anyone familiar with this network? I'd like to join it, if I could figure it out. Sorry for the simple-minded questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you have three repeaters nearby, with 550 being rather healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will, and statistically speaking, in the last 10 years, nobody has. Stop making up and spreading fairy-tales and lies, it makes you look uniformed and ignorant - and now everyone is laughing at you.

Pretty interesting if you ask me.. Laugh all you want Randy, but I'll take the last one. I can understand there concerns, especially when they can see for themselves data supporting well over 100's of links.. Go get you a bag of popcorn from Sam's and STFU...

Good day, WSDU951 When you say you hope to network with others, do you mean people or network linked repeaters? I took your statement “network with others“ to mean you would like to meet other people who have an interest in GMRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the actual f are you talking about? He's not talking about linking. The guy just wants to talk to people in the area. Learn some reading skills, get help, see a specialist, either back away or increase your meds. You have missed the plot here. Way to help a guy out man, nice job.
