North georgia gmrs

I'm looking to hike the Appalacian Trail in the next year and was thinking of taking a GMRS radio with me to communicate with my brother who will also be hiking. Since the area is so tree-filled and hilly, I was looking at the repeater map on here to determine if I'd have decent repeater coverage for most of the hike. I've noticed some of the repeaters are typed as Members Only paid. For example Flagship in Jasper Georgia which covers quite a large section of the Georgia portion of the Appalacian Trail says it's Members Only paid. My question is, how would I access these Members Only repeaters and approximately how much does it cost? I've tried googling, but haven't had much luck. Thanks in advance to anyone able to answer my probably stupid question. You would have to contact the repeater owner to find out the "tones" to access the repeater and how much they charge for its use. Are you hiking together? What kind of distance will you have between you? You may want to also carry something like an InReach Mini 2 for such a trip. I believe that they state that their repeaters are open to "transient" users, so as a traveler, as someone passing through that area, I don't think that they'd give you any grief. There are NO dumb questions; only dumb answers! Just get a sat unit and don't rely on the GMRS radio. Simple and cheap solution that will work on the entire AT.

They moved their offices so the order has been delayed.

Solid, reliable radio communications is the very back bone of our communities and the country. Being too old to be an active fire fighter, I was still wanting to give back to my community. I did some research and found that this was a perfect place to help not only families, but also volunteer groups within the State of Georgia, who needed effective and reliable communications during emergencies, disasters, and severe weather situations. I also learned that I was not alone in such an endeavor. Upon the discovery of a nation wide web site, I found that over GMRS repeaters throughout 41 states were doing the same thing. We have bought, assembled, installed and continue to support 29 repeater sites throughout the State of Georgia, and southern Tennessee. In addition we have 3 more new sites to complete in the near future. Five of our current sites are situated in mountain top settings of North Georgia, which provide reliable communications for areas with no cell service and limited simplex coverage.

Replies 2 Views I have tried every repeater pair and playing with both pl and dpl codes and their signals just stomp out my grandad's Motorola MTS repeater he gave me.

Joined Dec 22, Messages 6, There has to be something wrong with the radio setup. Have you tried swapping the antennas on your radios? Welcome to the wonderful world of GMRS. My guess is that they printed the user manual, then found out having the radios pre-programmed with the repeater codes was not a good idea, since that makes it very easy for a person to accidentally jump onto a repeater, without a GMRS license when they are thinking they have a simple walkie talkie.

Answer this question Ask a question. But yes I did order a high gain antenna and hopefully that will help a bit. Go to question listing. That is great information and I am glad to hear it. Part 97 covers amateur radio, not GMRS. There website has a boatload of repeaters listed that are sitting at scary high elevations. Feel free to join in the fun and contribute to the conversation. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online i. Hope it helps. I can't say enough positive things about this group and the organization. Curious minds want to know I thought the Tera was only 2 watts? Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules.
