I joy my GRMS Repeater with gmrs node
Still confused about using or accessing “The repeater syatem”?? Looking into the GRMS option to access the more power option.
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
I have a FRS transceiver and am under the impression I am only allowed to use 1 through 7 channels is that true
