Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

what is a repeater? the wife! you’re gonna hear it until the message gets through.

[Chris-jijw]

I enjoyed that information. Thank You!

[JD-]

Thank you for this easy to understand explanation. Now if you could only explain how it operates and how to access it. Thanks again!

[Matheison]

More good stuff here, Jason. Sometime in the future, can you walk folks through the steps necessary for accessing repeaters (offset, tone, etc...)? I think that could be a great help. 73

[Donkarnage]

This is the best video explanation I have seen well done!

[myfavorites]

Yes when i listened to my police scanner back in the days , i would hear at times the reapeater is up , then i could hear another highway patrol an hour away from my location. Thanks for the information tho 🙂

So I know this is an older vid but I have a question.
The club nearest to me I have no desire to join.
Is it ethical/proper for me to regularly use them if I’m not supporting the club that maintains them?

[Edible_Semtex_]

So if I want to communicate with my buddy on another radio, we both need have the same repeater programmed into our radios ?

[panplayer]

Is that an FT101EE I see on the right?

[adambatchelder]

Great overview, so I've been playing around with a Baofang in a ammo type very basic repeater. I would like to step it up and maybe buy a real repeater or maybe 2 wouxun 920, 980s and make a repeater for our remote area . This will be for emergency fire and such so I'm thinking gmrs because the license will be easier for non radio people. I would like to hear your thoughts on equipment.

Hi, i am trying to find a repeater for commercial radio FM in 87-108 MHz with low output power. do you know some? 25 watts its to high so the antenna will be masive. Hope you can help me!

[RaveGamingCommunity]

new question about upgrading to general does your ham club accept out of state testing? We do not have online testing here and I dunno when the next time there going to try to test they do it so spradic and most of the time I can get a way there...I have my CSCE

[Checo]

I'm a novice at this, I still don't have my license but I'm already studying for it, one question. When I already have the closest repeater in my HT, how do I know if it is working or if it is correct the way I did it? I have several days just trying to listen but never heard anyone there.

[seandrake]

How do you go about talking people into letting you put a repeater on their tower or building

[deerestevev]

A question about repeaters. The sawmill, about 3 miles from me, uses a repeater for communication around the mill site. When I'm listening I usually hear the base units but not the handhelds?

[wild-radio]

You know I need to start at the very beginning! :) you Rock!!
🤜🏻👍🤛🏻♡♡♡

[PaperTigers]

Is the frequency listed on websites the repeater's TX out or the frequency the repeater is listening to?

[HarrySatchelWhatsThatSmell]

with a home station like a 7300, can/should I use repeaters?

[jaylabros]

I am new to radio and had a beginner question. Do you need permissions or pay to use a repeater?
