*A bit of clarification on how GMRS repeaters use the repeater-input frequency: Virtually all GMRS repeaters require your radio to transmit on the repeater input frequency AND use the correct tone/or code (CTCSS/DTC/DPL, etc). So transmitting on the same input frequency as a nearby repeater without also using the correct tone/code, will NOT allow the repeater to re-transmit your signal - however it may potentially cause garbled interference if anyone else is nearby and trying to make use of the repeater at the same time you are talking. It should also be pointed out that even though these frequencies could be considered "semi private", these are not GMRS encrypted channels and anyone listening will be able to hear everything you say.
In this video I expose the secret private GMRS channels that nobody knows about! DID YOU KNOW! That virtually all GMRS channels have these private channels? I explain what these private GMRS channels are, what the FCC rules are surrounding the use of these private frequencies, and how you might even be transmitting on these channels without even knowing it. Of course, as usual I break-down all of this confusing information about GMRS frequencies and private communication into simple and easy to understand terms - One might say this is like "GMRS for Dummies".
