@Scubaru_Andy thank you so much! Do you have any repeaters you recommend monitoring in the area?
I noticed that about GMRS repeater owners, I don’t get it and I wonder why they are all like that
I don't find monitoring repeaters regularly useful. Lots of old dudes talking about their last prostate exam and political conspiracy theories.. I'm also not a HAM (thanks covid)
GMRS repeater owners built their thing and they want to be the gate keeper of it... maybe they want to keep it just for family or they want to charge money for use. Cant blame them for charging money, if its a legit repeater they've spent some money to get it installed on a tower.
It would be pretty neat to get the various off road clubs in NJ on the same page and maybe fund a repeater or two. But simplex seems to get the job done for group rides.
