Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share some information with everyone but also ask for your information and input on using GMRS, MURS and DTR digital radios at Disney World.
I have used 4 watt GMRS radios at Disney and the range was ok. There are a number of repeaters in the area but from different parts of WDW you can't get into the repeater. For example while at Downtown Disney the Celebration repeater worked excellent. When I went up to Magic Kingdom I couldn't hit the repeater at all. I also found a lot of interfearance at Magic kingdom probably from all the electronics throughout the park.
I wasn't impressed with 2 watt MURS Again with what I believe to be interfearance from electronics in the parks the MURS units didn't transmit very far.
Now the impressive radio!!!
I found the Motorola DTR units to work excellent. I found them to actually have better coverage than 4 watt UHF/GMRS units. The nice part about these units is if you wheren't in range of the other radio you could see that on your screen because it would say "user unavailable" Also if you had multiple people in your group you can call the one person on the whole group. I found these units very useful.
One example I was in the elevator at the beach club resort and my family was at EPCOT and they could call me no problem.
Does anyone have any comments or stories I would like to hear them.
Thanks,
