Is there an Internet based radio or hotspot that can be used with gmrs that is similar to dmr?

GMRS is certainly a nice alternative to Ham radio in some circumstances. You can have your entire family use the radios, so long as they adhere to normal radio procedure (much of it the same as on ham radio, no cussing, no illicit activities, etc). Also, depending on your area, you may or may not have access to several open repeater systems. However, the rule there is this: contact the repeater owner first before using said repeater, or some over the air histrionics might ensue.

Also, depending on your area, there may even be a GMRS repeater net, which would give you the opportunity to contact others. We have such a net here in Arizona and there is even a registration page that will allow you to register and thus be allowed on the net.

So, for any of you looking to get into GMRS, it’s simple.

Oh, and thanks to the guys at Bridgecom SYstems for presentiing this useful article.

VERY GOOD IDEA!!!; to make your ANY TONE radios go from 420-to cover ham bands,
to467.725, to cover ham, and GMRS on ONE radio for convience for radio ops. like me,
who have ham, as well as “GEEMERS”.

KB6OHQ; ham, and GMRS as WQGV 908.
