WRKC935 Posted October 30 Report Share Posted October 30 15 hours ago, WRUE951 said: Yup, and most GMRS repeater operators set their ID's to activate every half hour on the half hour, regardless of traffic.. WHY?? There's 6 repeaters in my area and when you scan, you hear a constant string of CWID's and appositely no voice traffic through the day.. It's comical. The HAM guys are a little more brilliant, at least they set for 'busy only' Right... calling bullshit on that for SURE. I have a VHF repeater that belongs to NARA (Newark Ama.... ) and that thing has not less than 3 separate IDer's connected to it. They claim to run multiples because if one fails the others will keep them 'legal'. The one is set for every 9 minutes. I have a logging recorder that shows this, 24/7/365 it ID's every 9 minutes. Then there are, as you mentioned, TWO additional 'busy only' IDer's that run. One only announces when it's made busy, by time. But will react to any PTT of the system. The other announces when busy in 15 minute increments based on the actual time so, top and bottom of the hour and 1/4 past and 3/4 past. So, if you key it, it will immediately ID. Then you key it again the second IDer will ID. If it's in the quarter hour, the THIRD IDer goes active. I get on there from time to time... throw my call, wait on the first ID. Reply, WHAT YOU SAY??? Second IDer. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT??? Third IDer. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT YOU SAID,,, or YOU JUST GONNA KEEP REPEATING YOURSELF, WHERE'S THE AI CHAT BOT TO KEEP ME COMPANY? And the NARA people then get on the air all pissed off at me. Of course I explain NO ONE wants to use the dumb thing because you can't have a conversation on it because the IDer's don't polite ID or fall back to quiet CW. They just changed the call sign on the repeater, and it's still like that..... with a new call. Hammies, at least the local ones what their repeater controller to tell time, weather, frequency, PL/DPL, current price of ass wipe. AND the repeater call sign. And it's annoying as hell.

I've only heard one Ham repeater announce voice (not CW) date, time, , weather, frequency, PL Tones and price of TP on the 15 min mark regardless of traffic and that was in El Segundo about 4 years ago.. I haven't hear a GMRS repeater as such yet. And i also read a lot of forum chatter of people making fun of it.. The last i read, the operator got wise and took all that migril garbage off line. Wise! Now my question.. Why is it necessary to fill the airwaves with repeated CW and or Voice chatter on a frequency that is seldom used. The comical part to me, when you hear this CW (or voice) 99.9% of time and no other real traffic.. I just shake my head at it.

LeoG Posted Wednesday at 04:58 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:58 PM LI East End repeater in NY on 575 announces by voice on the 35 after and on the hour it sometimes gives weather. It's a pay to play repeater and I only hear it when the tropospheric ducting is just right. But I hear it often enough to know it does voice and CW for ID.

IF THAT IS THE CASE, you're not close enough for the repeater to hear you (for the repeater to get your signal). I assume the people you hear (opening & closing) on the gate chatter could very well just be on the simplex side of the channel and not speaking on the repeater at all. I've been right at where the map shows the location 300 feet or less from it and nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
