GMRS
 

But NOT a Ham Repeater -- Only a GMRS Repeater

I repeat my previous post

All about GMRS at URL:
http://ac6v.com/rstore.htm#GRMS

The General Mobile Radio Service has eight repeater frequency pairs. A radio
repeater uses one of these pairs of frequencies to receive and simulcast a
radio transmission it receives on the repeater input frequency. Repeaters
are usually placed on hilltops, mountains, towers, or tall buildings. When
the repeater receives a signal from a hand-held or mobile radio that signal
is rebroadcast on the repeater output frequency. The repeater can broadcast
over a much wider geographical area than a hand held or mobile radio. Most
GMRS users will not own a repeater of their own. They will most likely share
a repeater system with others. When you use the repeater you make it
possible to communicate with your family over a much wider area.

Frequencies are shown at URL:

These are NOT the same as Amateur Radio Frequencies

GMRS requires an FCC license for GMRS operation

Good Luck -- CL

Is it possible to access a repeater with a handheld GMRS radio?

Yes.
