According to this popular YouTuber, the FCC is finally taking action to end the practice of linking GMRS repeaters. It should be noted that it is common practice for the FCC to not publicly release information when conducting enforcement actions. Even when a rogue BDA jammed my public safety...

Does anyone hear any activity on the national calling frequency on 462.675?

I don't know if this might be a dumb question. I'm new to the XTS platform and don't fully understand the Trunking systems, but is it possible to have a XTS 3000 set up for trunking without a repeater or control point on analog? I would like to communicate with some Baofeng type radios and...

Hello and thanks in advance for reading a newbies post. I am new to this so please be gentle lol. I bought a Baofeng BF-5RH handheld off Temu and have a question about using it to communicate with a friends Motorola T7450 on GMRS-1 462.5625 MHz. 1) I set my Baofeng to 462.5625 MHz. 2) When...

Hello. Are there existing Los Angeles GMRS repeaters that are either open or open to new members? If so please let me know what they are, or where to get more info. Thank you!

I have recently purchased the Ha1g GMRS Radio from Ailunce (Retivis) and have been very pleased with the product, except one issue... I've noticed that you can not manually transmit DTMF tones via pressing the PTT and the corresponding DTMF number keys. I know that you can pre-program your own...

I have two scenarios for this. Scenario 1: The FCC has decided to listen to the people and upgraded the FRS/GMRS band making it similar to PMR446 in the EU. What this comes with; - Extention of the FM GMRS channels by adding 15 more channels (5 HT-HT, 5 extra duplexed channels.) - And adding 20...

I know it says we can't submit anything using common services (MURS, GMRS, etc.) but could we make an exception to this? This would go for certain businesses or attractions that are grandfathered to use GMRS. Because Allegan uses 462.700 MHz for city events, and there is (I think?) a hotel that...

New to radios and recent GMRS hobbyist. I have a VX-459, software and cord. I thought I'd see if I could program it for GMRS/FRS. Is this even possible? Is this strictly a VHF radio? I've got my channel list and corresponding details entered but I'm getting "Frequency Band Mismatched" when I...

Is there anybody out there that knows how to reprogram MCS 2000 Motorola Radios? A few friends and I just got a handful of these radios and we would like to program them to a different frequency. I have the RIB cables, The CPS software was given to me by the same guy that programed the radios...

Hello everyone, i am in Massachusetts, in a a suburban area, more building than houses, but only 3 family buildings at the most, not much open areas, growing population, 30-45 minutes from the main city. I own a multifamily, legal 2 families with a finish attic, so like 3 family. Which antenna...

You can copy the below XML code, then right click in the "Zones" section of CPS 2.0 and click "Paste" and it will create zones for you for FRS and GMRS, respectively. Please note: Do not use this to transmit GMRS or FRS on non-GMRS / FRS licensed radios. Remember, FRS and GMRS are licensed to...

First, please accept my apology if this subject has been done before. I am a total noob. I am trying to connect to Arizona repeaters (actually an repeaters will work) but mostly Arizona. Is there s "Repeaters for Dummy's" site somewhere? I am trying to learn how to connect to some repeaters but...

Hey all, I'm pretty new to GMRS and radio in general. I have a Jeep JK (which I know isn't the ideal vehicle for radios) and just installed a Retevis RA86, and am looking for suggestions for which antenna, mount, and location I should go with. I was considering the Midlands MXTA25 ghost antenna...

Since I don't have to equipment to tune my own antenna yet, I want to know what antenna can bring out the most power from my mobile radio setup for GMRS. Give me your recommendations!

Are there any GMRS nets for skywarn? I'd like to have some repeaters to add.

Hello, I was wondering how long did it take for you to get your GMRS license? The reason is, I applied for mine last Thursday and I have been waiting since. I sadly cannot look at the license manager since it's down which is probably the reason why I haven't gotten my license yet. But as I'm...

Hello All I have been planning on getting an xts2500 because I have been wondering what software(programming) I need and if I could use UHF/VFH frequencies will it be good because I plan on using ham/gmrs frequencies.
