Repeater network in Wyoming and Montana


Recommended Posts

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.

Hello,  We are new to GMRS.  In Billings.  We Boondock around here, and wish to communicate with each other in the mountains.  Hoping to connect to repeaters in the area, and network with others.

Good day,  WSDU951

Welcome!

Looks like you have three repeaters nearby, with 550 being rather healthy.

Welcome to GMRS. Billings is one of the few places in Montana with multiple GMRS repeaters.

Do your duty,,  follow the link and file your complaint today..  it's easy and fast.  You may even get a call from the FCC, depending on the information you provided..  I can tell you they are 'open ears' and very very concerned..    More to come 🙂

  • What is your source for your "beginning to get tons of them [complaints]" statement?
  • and... no, they will not act soon - based on the last 10 years of the FCC's enforcement actions, you are wrong.

No, he won't. 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.

if the FCC is not concerned, why would they take their time to make an inquiry into a 'base' of information..   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...

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.

Yet another on the ignore list.

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.
