How To Program A GMRS Repeater On Your GMRS Walkie-Talkie - Step by Step How To Connect A Repeater

Рет қаралды 75,045

Күн бұрын

It's easy to setup most hand-held GMRS walkie-talkie radios to connect to a GMRS repeater / transmit on a GMRS repeater. In this video I show you the simple steps using both a Wouxun KG-805G and a Wouxun KG-905G, but the steps are very similar on most other GMRS radios. My apologies for any audio issues. I have a new microphone and I didn't read the manual..

Thanks Randy. Struggled for hours trying to figure out how to do my first repeater program after upgrading to the KGUV9GX. Awesome radio. Used your affiliate link so thanks for that as well. Anyways, all I had was the repeater’s frequency and the In and Out numbers to punch in. Your video broke it down better than the others I watched and made it pretty dang easy. I did a repeater check and someone responded so that was pretty exciting. So I’m having lots of fun. My wife says I’m a nerd and I have to remind her that “Randy” says I’m very cool and will impress the chicks. Especially with my Roger Beep on.

I have been using mygmrs o find repeaters and found out that there is a group in Arkansas. I ended up connecting to someone that I believe was repeater hopping. I still have so much to learn and do, now i am making a repeater list.

Because of your video I finally bought the Baofend uv9g. Got two radios with all the gadgets and an upgraded antenna all for $73.90 If not for you and Josh doing shows together I quit looking for Ham and Looked for GMRS. Your review of the UV9G sold me. AND every single gripe you had was addressed and several more as well. This thing is fixed and improved and ready to go. So for $37.00 per unit filled with extra goodies, I got a PERFECT $40.00 RADIO. Programing cable, headset as well. Thank you Randy. Now the learning curve, I need a valium.

Thank you! I now have some confidence that I can program for a repeater. Unfortunately, in SE Minnesota, I'm in a GMRS wasteland. There are no active repeaters or GMRS clubs within 100 miles where I live. There are HAM repeaters though, but I suspect they would not be available to me, as I don't have a HAM license. I'll have to be content with relatively short range communications. My town is in a valley that would probably be counterproductive to building or buying my own repeater.

Great video! I am getting that noise back after transmitting but shouldn't I be hearing my message back if it "repeated" it out to the world? Who would actually hear my message then? Would it be other radios (besides the one I used to transmit with) that are also programmed exactly how the transmit radio was programmed? For example, if I had 2 radios programmed the exact same for a repeater and had both of them turned on. I transmit from one, would I hear the actual message on the second one? Or does the second one have to be programmed differently?

Hello Randy, is there any way you can please do the step by step for repeater set up like this one except using the baofeng uv-9g. I took your advice and actually bought one but unfortunately I'm an older visual learner and i would greatly appreciate it if you can create a video using the uv-9g. I tried following along but the uv-9g has different features and abbreviations and I'm worried I might mess up the radio. Thanks again.

a "tone", sometimes called a code, is a setting that you use to activate a repeater. The technical name is 'CTCSS' tone or DCS tone. It is a tone with a specific frequency that you cant hear but other radios/repeaters can hear..
