[QueenCreekHams] GMRS Repeater Test 2
My HT's that I'm programming only supports 107.2 for the Tone Encode, the next Frequency up or down are 103.5 (down) and 110.9 (up). One HT is an actual GMRS radio (Radioddoty GM-30) the other is a dual-band ham radio (TYT TH-UV88). I suspect you meant 107.2 Hz for the GMRS Repeater encode Frequency. Yahoo Mail - Email Simplified

GMRS Repeater Test 3
Help! Hello Ham Friends, If you have a GMRS license, please access my temporary repeater at: Transmit Frequency: 467.5750 MHz Receive Frequency: 462.5750 MHz PL Tone Encode: 107.5 Hz PL Tone Decode: None It is located at 202 and Broadway with an ERP of about 8 watts. It does not have a transmitted ID yet and there is no activity timer. However, it is operating under WRJA748. When accessing, please announce testing and your callsign or the last 3 numbers of your call sign so I map your location to determine the RF operating footprint of the test session. If you do not have a GMRS call sign, use mine for testing purposes: WRJA748 I need it tested thoroughly today for deployment at an event tomorrow. It will be up from 12:45 PM till Midnight tonight. The activity will be recorded for my review. Thank you, Joe, N2QOJ
