Arizona GMRS nets?

[WRXR374]

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.

That's reasonable, $36.00 a year. Sure, beats paying $300.00 or $400.00 a year. 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.

The AZ GMRS Repeater Club has a Net every Tuesday at 1900 (7PM), except for holidays and the 5th Tuesday of thd month.  The Net is called the Tuesday 1900 Net and is open to everyone and is conducted on the 550 channel through the White Tanks Repeater. The White Tanks Repeater will cover most of the Valley of the Sun. 

During the Tuesday 1900 Net, Non-Club Members are in courage to participate and the White Tanks Repeater will have the Travel Tone activated for encode (Repeater Access) for all guest users.  Leave the receive channel as CSQ since the Repeater does not transmit any Tone out downlink.  The topic of discussion varies and will be announced at the beginning of the Net. 

For more AZ GMRS Repeater Club information go to www.azgmrs.org

As for SWCRS, it would be best to go on their website at www.swcrs.org or www.tucsongmrs.com

Sorry, I have no information on the White Mountain Community System.
