Keene, NH GMRS

462.725Mhz   141.3PL

General Mobile Radio Service

As of about 5pm on Nov, 4, 2009, the new Keene GMRS repeater is on the air.  Tests seem to indicate that it's got fairly decent coverage and should reasonably replicate the coverage of the ZedYX 443.8 repeater.

As of right now, the repeater is an open system, however permission would really be appreciated!  Just to keep a handle on who's doing what under my license!

My hopes are that it's well received and used, and will provide an alternative for families and individuals to Amateur Radio.

A GMRS license IS required, but after one member of a household obtains one, every member of that family may operate under that license.

A few reference sites to help you decide if GMRS is right for you, or perhaps to explain just exactly what GMRS is all about are listed below:

GMRS.ORG   and  PRSG

Licensing info can be found at the FCC ULS site.

If you'd like to use the repeater, contact me and let me know....

Thanks!  And hope to hear it getting some usage very soon!
