GMRS Repeater?


 

New to GMRS as it uses channels. I have the programming cable and use the Radioty software to program. Will need instructions how to program my pair of Baofeng GMRS radios.


 

KH5YN,

Ryan K4TXN might be able to help you get set up. Have you checked into the Texas GMRS Network? ?

Stephen, links below to a CHIRP .img file for GMRS, MURS and NOAA. Associated .CSV file export if needed. This is an extract from my Baofeng HT's master CHIRP file.
?
You'll notice TWO GMRS channels programmed for the Montgomery and Conroe repeaters I'm aware of. I don't know of any GMRS repeaters in Walker Co. Although at the last club meeting, Glenn mentioned that a GMRS repeater is being planned for the club's repeater site.
?
I use CHIRP exclusively for all of my analog HT's. I rarely use the customer programming software (CPS) from the radio manufacture. Using CHIRP allows me to copy/paste channels among my various analog HT's from TIDRADIO, BTECH and Baofeng to keep them in sync.
?
My HT's are 'unlocked' so I can load police/fire/ems, NOAA, GMRS/FRS and MURS as well as HAM bands.

Chirp won't work with my Baofeng GMRS handhelds. Have to use a Radioty software that works with my HT's

I have the Baofeng GM-15 Pro which will not work with Chirp. Had to use a Radiotity software for one of their radios that is equivalent
