WRXR374 Posted November 11 Report Posted November 11 I live most of the time in Chandler (East valley) and part time in Show Low. Who else is out there? AZGMRS is the big state-wide organization. They run their own repeaters for members. It's $36 per year. SWCRS (Southwest Community Radio System) covers AZ and NM. It's free to join. We have some great repeaters and nets for members. WMVCRS (White Mountain Volunteer Community Radio System) covers northeastern AZ. They ask for a $5 monthly donation to help support their repeaters, which I believe are all open. I gladly contribute.

Then again, I wasn't really thinking too clear about the so-called LEARN SYSTEM. I figured why their dues are high, which the use MDC, they require members to use Motorola or Kenwood commercial equipment. Of course, the majority of those members own their radios, But I figure the dues collected goes towards loner radios for new and current members, plus the upkeep of the system. I sure feel like moron, because it took me a long time to figure it out, but now I don't have to ask or wonder. Of course, I rather pay $40.00 a month, this way I can budget and not worry about once a year. Quote
