Michael, you will feel better if you climb out of your basement, go out side and enjoy some sunshine. Bring some sun screen because it sounds like you have been down there a long time and I'm sure you are very pale. Here is a pro tip to getting your life back: Find the button that shuts down the youtube app and use it.

I have never watched one of you videos and not laughed, smiled, or learned from you. Thanks for the great content.

It’s so nice that all involved in our farm can use the repeater I put up for all the farm activities! AND I hope you all will join the GMRS family. It’s just handy and fun 24-7!!!!!

GMRS radios seem to be more convenient than handheld CBs. The CB HTs need really big battery packs or don't last long on what you can get, so you need a 12V car battery for power, but the GMRS HTs are efficient enough to use small Lithium packs. So my CB radio stays in the car. I only used my AA battery-powered HT CB radio to listen to the NOAA weather forecasts, until I got a digital emergency radio (KA600) and a cheapie FRS/GMRS. HT.

But now that I am a youtube certified gmrs operator all that has changed. I just won the lottery the other night. You may have heard about that on the news. I am getting married to a super model in the morning and I don't have to have a job now because I am filthy rich. I want to thank you sir for all your hard work and dedication

I dunno... I think, if I didn't understand this repeater stuff already, I might be more confused. Think you need a Carl Rove style whiteboard to illustrate some of these concepts as all the talk of channel sharing is hard to visualize without a visual aid. Also a demo of the squelch tail would've made that much clearer. But, enjoyed this vid, as I have all the others and I give you much respect for trying to help the noobs. I bet you've increased GMRS use in the US more than you know. I know you're the motivator in my case for sure.

Just got my GMRS license few weeks ago, now I take a bit of time to look for repeaters on my GMRS, I drive truck so I do that I different locations all the time. What I noticed is that mygmrs doesn't always have all open repeaters listed. So I just listen to 8 repeater channels on sdr and have it decode the CTC/dcs, then I listen to see if it's public and talk to them .

I'll chime in. I'm totally new to the GMRS community. Just got my license the other day. I've been online for a loooong time now. These computers have rewired our brains, along with things like microwave ovens, by making things available so quickly compared to how we grew up before that era. Same thing with the way people drive these days. It's not good and I try and read books as much as I can to offset the effect. I know your remarks are more or less in jest, but those are among the reasons why so many of us now have a short attention span.

ok - so hopefully a quick question: I understand the 8 channels lining up - I get the tone requirement.... but in simplex mode if I can hear them - I need to switch to the repeater channel and get the tone to transmit...then how do I hear them again? Do I need to switch back to channel 16 to hear them - and then switch to repeater channel 2 to transmit?
