I don't understand how as I had received permission from repeaters in my area of Walhalla, SC trying to bridge the gap between the two but am unable to. How are they getting this far? is it a club? The only way I've been able to connect from Cashiers to Walhalla is thru Business band repeaters on 461.7250 . I gotta know how they are making the distance! I’m relatively new to GMRS. I was in Atlanta over the recent weekend and was able to hear chatter over 60 miles away on my HT Baofeng UV5G Pro. Seems like a vibrant GMRS community in the Atlanta area. This is encouraging to me because, although I enjoy tinkering with my radio and learning, it is also fun hearing people engage over the air. I know, I know…if I wanna talk to people then I should be a Ham and if I want to talk with my friends while outdoors, then I should use GMRS. Why can’t it be both? Haha SteveShannon and WRUU653 2 Quote

Haha There’s nothing wrong with you talking to people using your GMRS radio. Have fun and welcome to the forum. WRUU653 and WikiNobo 2 Quote
