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.

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.

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...

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. WRXB215, OffRoaderX, WRHS218 and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unable to find any such FCC rule that prohibits the linking/networking of GMRS repeaters, base and fixed stations.

WSDU951 Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Correct.  My statement “network with others“ means we would like to meet other people who have an interest in GMRS.  Not "linking", whatever that means...

During disasters linked systems are invaluable. All the lined systems I have heard are very well run except for the GMRS Linked Network which allows cursing and adult content (there are kids listening). On the other hand Midwest GMRS is EXCELLENT! Nets prepare users for disasters. Stand alone repeaters in rural areas sit unused, a good example is Iowa. You can listen for days to several repeaters in Des Moines and hear no one. It seems there is always someone who wants to ruin a good thing, be it a jammer or complainer. gortex2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted it several times.. read the rules and pay attention.. BTW, i have contacted the FCC in regards to clarification to operating GMRS through linked repeaters... They say nope, not legal. Be my guest to contact them..  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he was told that the system was linked that’s it. The question was about contacting people in a particular area. Not every thread needs to be a debate about linking. Funny thing is I am not a fan of the idea of linking GMRS but come on we don’t need every thread hi jacked to the subject. SteveShannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
