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!

I'm trying to put up a local GMRS repeater for my family and friends to use. But yes I did order a high gain antenna and hopefully that will help a bit.

Purchase a Membership. But from this experience I have come to learn, understand and respect the weaknesses of Radio Communications in the time of distress, emergency and disaster. 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.

Replies 4 Views There are a lot of people here that know a lot more than I and they are very helpful and should be able to tell you what you need to know. Expert advice is needed please! Put your repeater up. You can put up your own repeater on a different tone code. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Thread starter DailyUser83 Start date Aug 16, I appreciate everybody's input. Go to topic listing. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. I thought the offsets only applied to HAM repeaters, and I failed to grasp that when I did the initial programming.

I didn't realize this was going to be this complicated and tiring. I feel stuck in between a rock and hard place. Paste as plain text instead. I've noticed some of the repeaters are typed as Members Only paid. That is great information and I am glad to hear it. You may want to also carry something like an InReach Mini 2 for such a trip. Did you use chirp or did you program it using the keypad? This is all very good advice and I will check these items and report back on my results. I look forward to tuning in to the next NET meeting. I accept. In the end the cost of the GMRS radios, paid repeater access will cost just as much. Why can't this group only link repeaters in North Georgia? Just made contact on the Sassafras Mountain repeater to a gentleman in Ellijay, GA so I would like to thank all of you for your assistance and patience with me in solving my startup issues.
