I liked the video, it was very informative. My question is can anyone set up a repeater for games or do you have to use ones already set up. I guess my second question would be, how expensive are repeaters and radios to go with a good system. I have a friend who is a peeper, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to get him to get his ham ticket.
I’d appreciate any info you might have on radios and pricing.
Thanks again. Doug N1SHU.

How do I connect to a repeater using a GMRS Radio??
How do I locate ’’repeater’’ stations near me???
I assume I can just google GMRS License and find the required form and info.
Your video was good, thanks, Jim M

Is a single GMRS License applicable to the whole family living at an address?

Joseph Lane - August 27, 2021

Can GMRS be used by a volunteer rescue squad?

Still confused about using or accessing “The repeater syatem”?? Looking into the GRMS option to access the more power option.

Paul Schmitter - August 27, 2021

One thing you didn’t mention about GMRS repeater operation. Although there are some ‘open’ repeaters, some either require membership in a club or at least permission to use them. There are several web sites that list repeaters in a users area and whether they are ‘open’ or ‘closed’. Or a user can put up there own repeater as long as it does not interfere with an existing repeater.

Is there away to use gmrs over the internet

WILLIAM THOMPSON - August 27, 2021

I have a FRS transceiver and am under the impression I am only allowed to use 1 through 7 channels is that true
