Immediate Family using callsign

[WRYZ926]

Well every one that uses our GMRS repeater does use their actual GMRS call sign. They will use designators such as WRYZXXX Base, or WRYZXXX Unit 2, etc. And that has worked just fine for us.

I would not want to try and remember a bunch of numbers either. And you still have to use your call signs when using open repeaters anyway. Now if the repeater is closed and ONLY used by immediate family then that's a different story.

Correction. Call signs are still required even on private/closed repeaters. Though the repeater itself does not.

Not very much; every user is still required to use the proper call sign (even though all of them are using the same call sign), but in this situation the repeater is not required to ID separately.
