My Introduction

[wqyg952]

Hi, my name is Ryan and I live outside of St. George with my wife Pam in Southern Utah. My wife (ka3qac) and I have been radio operators since 1986.  We are from Westminster MD. originally and moved to Utah in 2004. Have been out of the radio hobby and now trying to get back into it.  We are currently Resident Managers at a storage facility (Stor-N-Lock  #22).  Have a great view from here of Zion Park.  We are about 3200 feet so I thought it would be fun to set up a GMRS repeater.  Working on trying to figure out modifying my GMRS license for a repeater.

Thanks, Ryan

No need to modify your license for a repeater. In fact, there is no way to "modify" a GMRS license. The GMRS license you already have is more of an operator's license than a station license. Much like an amateur license, you (and your family) are authorized to operate various types of equipment on specific (GMRS) frequencies. That would include portables, mobiles, base stations, and repeaters. All are subject to power and antenna height restrictions as outlined in Part 95.

 

There's already plenty of repeater discussion here, so look it over and join in the fun.
