Is anyone aware why the USA Gmrs Association Site down for construction? I tried to join and received that message. Anyone know how long it has been down or when will it be back running? Thanks for your time . New to this site and hobby.

If you’re talking about this it’s working fine for me.

 

[sallen07]

I see this shown below. Using Windows 10. I click on Continue to HTTP Site and it works. Your browser, security settings or Security/Anti-Virus software might be stopping you thinking the site is too risky.

Uh…yeah.

Looks like sites I made in high school 30+ years ago when “the internet” seemed new and we were learning rudimentary HTML.

Forget about that website. It is not accurate, updated, or well maintained. Go here instead: myGMRS.com: GMRS Repeater Directory and Community

Yeah, the 1990's called, they want their website back….

Obviously an important and popular organization, nearly 200 followers on the Facebook page, and no posts since October of last year. Yes, sarcasm included.
Maybe they lost interest.

You can send the money to me. You’d probably get just as many benefits.

Isn’t this the same as this guy we dealt with a few years back?

State & Nation Wide Linking

It has been brought to my attention by my staff of legal experts that the linking one or more repeaters may very well be against the rules and regulation of FCC. Particularly the very description of what GMRS is per the description as outlined by FCC, to witt: "§95.1 The General Mobile...

That hurt my brain to read such a tortured fail of logic.

That website has been there for many years virtually unchanged.

The guy had another user name previous to amphibian but I don’t remember it now. He was definitely a magnet for anger and angst.

Doing some digging, just because sometimes it's funny.

As for being a "professional", no GROL or other commercial licenses under the FRN. His comments sure don't reflect professionalism.
