WSBB519 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 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.

WSAH999 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSAH999 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 If you have a GMRS lisence and the FCC database has been updated, it still may take some time for myGMRS to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darmie Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 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. https://www.gmrslive.com/howto/GMRS LIVE 1.1.1. SETUP.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
