GMRS Repeaters Serving Waynesville, NC, Area

[fwbray]

I have a relative living in the Waynesville, NC area and I'm looking for GMRS repeaters in the area that might serve them.

 

They aren't yet licensed but I'm trying to encourage them.

 

Thanks!

You can cover that blood relative under your license.

Assuming you're referring to your relative doesn't have a GMRS license, which they are able piggyback off of your license. The one license that can't be shared is Amateur Radio License. If that's the case, your relative would need find Amateur Radio License class and take the exam. It's simple and you can do more with Amateur Radio that's not really allowed on GMRS or CB

There were 2 in the Ashville area. Unknown how they faried in the recent storm. Also to the west in Sylva but not much else. To be honest I'd buy them an inreach and ship it ot them.

Several repeaters with wide coverage that could possibly serve the Waynesville area depending on location their radio and antenna setup.  I live in central NC and can hit several repeaters up in the mountain areas that are forty-five to fifty miles away.  BTECH GMRS 50V2 as a base and Ed Fong J Pole twenty-five feet off the ground. My elevation is 840 ft. above sea level.
