amaff Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 1. If possible, request it through myGMRS. 2. If you have the channel and tone(s), set up your radio, key up, identify yourself, and...ask. WSDZ653 and WRUU653 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re on the map or in the repeater database associated with this site, just click “request permission“ and fill in the form.

WRXR255 Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 @amaff answered while i was typing but try this frist as he says, find the repeater here if it is here: Click request access. Otherwise ask on the repeater and go from there. WRUU653 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinJ Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 The best answer I have received on this question is, if the tones are listed, and it's set to open, it's almost always a go-ahead, but never hurts to ask or give thanks when using the repeater. As I was told when I asked most people tend to want you to use their repeater if its status is open with the tones listed. I did just that, I programmed my handheld, and the next time I was near enough, I announced myself and asked for a radio/mic check and also thanked the owner of the system. Have not had any problems or anything as of yet. WRXB215, SteveShannon, WRXR255 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
