Question about repeaters

[WSBB519]

I am new to the GMRS world.  I have been looking at the map here and see that some repeaters seem to openly list their input/ output frequencies, and some do not.  For the ones that show the Input/ output frequencies, should I still send a request to use the repeater?  Don't want to break etiquette.

When you get your GMRS callsign and myGMRS can actually see it in the FCC database you'll be able to register and when logged in you'll see whether or not a repeater is open or restricted, and you'll see all (if any) the CTCSS or DCS tones (they say unlisted to people not logged in to prevent people without a lisence from accessing)

If you have a GMRS lisence and the FCC database has been updated, it still may take some time for myGMRS to see it.

Sorry I don't have any hands on experience however, from what I gather, you would submit a series of DTMF tones to your node as noted on this PDF. It appears *73 + node number connects, *71 + node number disconnects.

Obviously the people don’t mind strangers on the “open” repeaters since they published the tones however I personally would still ask for permission.   If you don’t hear back go ahead and use the repeater and introduce yourself.   Just abide by the rules and don’t be a jerk.  If they get upset and ask where you got the tones just let them know.

Thanks for the quick responses!
