WSDN412 Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 Hi All, A newbie here. Gradually learning along the way. A couple of open repeaters I've been successful in connecting to and have requested permission to those that ask for it. Question for those in Nor Cal, what are the farthest reaching repeaters you would recommend and what typically is the process to getting a response on a request for access? Just not sure if repeater is down, changed, etc. Trying specifically to connect to SIERRA 7000 and Signal Peak (Sierra City and Cisco Grove). Thanks very much, WSDN412 (Jason) Quote
WRWE456 Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 Hello and welcome to the forum! Looks like your post fell through the cracks. Have you looked up the repeater on the main MYGMRS.COM site? If you are a member with a call sign you can look up the owner and make a request. I just looked it up and it is listed as an open repeater. Go to the map and zoom in on Nor Cal its right there. Click on the repeater and it will give you the tones and info about it. Good size repeater. Good luck! Quote
CALO50 Posted July 17 Report Posted July 17 Not a lot of traffic on SIERRA 7000. Try Mountain Top1, Banner 700 and Oregon Pk. Mountain Top1 seems to cover the foothills in its proximity to well beyond the valley below; I once returned a radio check for someone near Martinez. Quote

CALO50 Posted July 17 Report Posted July 17 Forgot to mention, you'll need to reach out to North Valley GMRS on Facebook for Signal Peak. There's also Donner - not a lot of traffic. Quote
