Hi,
Just got my FCC GMRS license, a pair of Vertex 824 UHF's, and a programming cable and had a general question regarding the GMRS emergency channel.
I understand the receive and transmit frequencies will be 462.675 and 467.675 respectively, but will I need to program the coded squelch to 141.3 for BOTH the encoding and decoding?
With so many available channels on my radio, would it also be useful to configure a channel for simplex operation (462.675/462.675)? I guess my question really is if ALL emergency comms are ALWAYS on repeater operation?
Many thanks for your assistance, and any helpful tips on programming and configuring these radios would be appreciated.
Dave.
