Linking GMRS Repeaters

[WSJP534]

Thanks so much for the replies. Please feel free to point me to any stickies or threads that might teach me more about how this network might degrade my GMRS experience on the higher power channels when transmitting simplex. I am worried now that my investment was bad. 

Now back to your regularly scheduled FCC Rule discussion...

I would say it was a good investment if you need or want inexpensive and reliable short range comms. You can 100% use your radio as you would like, but may need to do things like use Tone squelch to stop hearing unwanted traffic and/or timing use between active conversations or the higher frequencies, which is common/best practice anyway. The congregation will make it a bit more cumbersome to accomplish, but still usable. Adding a repeater that would be usable would be way more complex to accomplish.
