GMRS programming question.....

[KX4KDH]

When I program my radio for GMRS repeater use, my TX (from the radio to repeater) is going to be the 467's, and my receive is going to be the 462's correct?



I know I sound like an idiot, I just want to make sure.

Correct.

Here is a list of the designated pairs for GMRS
And a very informative website.

Designator Lower Frequency Upper Frequency
"550" 462.550 MHz 467.550 MHz
"575" 462.575 MHz 467.575 MHz
"600" 462.600 MHz 467.600 MHz
"625" 462.625 MHz 467.625 MHz
"650" 462.650 MHz 467.650 MHz
"675" 462.675 MHz 467.675 MHz
"700" 462.700 MHz 467.700 MHz
"725" 462.725 MHz 467.725 MHz

Thanks, guys.... I knew the pairs, just wanted to make sure I didn't program them bass-ackwards!

 

[sean_kd4adv]

Correct.

Yes. That is correct.

Simplex on 462.550 cand be done as well, too.

The FRS uses the splinter channels 462.5625 and 467.5625 -> simplex only.

Wow... I just found out this 830 has the 160 channel upgrade.... Lots of possibilities!

Oh, jeez... Now I am seeing another set of freqs that are supposedly GMRS:
462.5625
462.5875
462.6125
462.6375
462.6625
462.6875
462.7125

Somewhere I saw a chart that showed EXACTLY what frequencies I could use, and how I could use them.

Okay, here we go....

Now I see why people are slightly miffed with the bubble pack crowd: Basically, the bubble pack radio channels 1-7 are GMRS channels.... Right?


§ 95.29 Channels available.
(a) For a base station, fixed station, mobile station, or repeater station (a GMRS station that simultaneously retransmits the transmission of another GMRS station on a different channel or channels), the licensee of the GMRS system must select the transmitting channels or channel pairs ( see §95.7(a) of this part) for the stations in the GMRS system from the following 462 MHz channels:


462.5500, 462.5750, 462.6000, 462.6250, 462.6500, 462.6750, 462.7000 and 462.7250.


(b) For a mobile station, control station, or fixed station operated in the duplex mode, the following 467 MHz channels may be used only to transmit communications through a repeater station and for remotely controlling a repeater station. The licensee of the GMRS system must select the transmitting channels or channel pairs ( see §95.7(a) of this part) for the stations operated in the duplex mode, from the following 467 MHz channels:


467.5500, 467.5750, 467.6000, 467.6250, 467.6500, 467.6750, 467.7000 and 467.7250.


(c)–(e) [Reserved]

(f) Except for a GMRS system licensed to a non-individual, a mobile station or a small base station operating in the simplex mode may transmit on the following 462 MHz interstitial channels:


462.5625, 462.5875, 462.6125, 462,6375, 462.6625, 462.6875 and 462.7125.


These channels may be used only under the following conditions:

(1) Only voice type emissions may be transmitted;

(2) The station does not transmit one-way pages; and

(3) The station transmits with no more than 5 watts ERP.

(g) Fixed stations in GMRS systems authorized before March 18, 1968, located 160 kilometers (100 miles) or more from the geographic center of urbanized areas f 200,000 or more population as defined in the U.S. Census of Population, 1960, Vol. 1, Table 23, page 50 that were authorized to transmit on channels other than those listed in this section may continue to transmit on their originally assigned channels provided that they cause no interference to the operation of stations in any of the part 90 private land mobile radio services.

Only slightly miffed is slightly understated! :twisted:

I got this laptop for free. All it needed was an HDD, and it was good to go.. It actually works very well with the KPG7D program....
