Hi,

While there is no direct wording that repeater linking is forbidden, there
are many restrictions that make it difficult or impossible.

It's expressly forbidden to link through the public telephone service. You
seem aware of that.

As far as using a GMRS pair for link frequencies, I'm just not sure how you

There is nothing in the FCC R&R that says you can't link GMRS repeater, you
just can not go out of 'band' – you can link if you use GMRS pairs for your
link freq.'s and use a horizontal antenna system for point to point and a
controller that will allow you to monitor the system to see if the 'air' is

FCC regs don't permit linking GMRS repeaters.

My Name is Rody and I am interested in all aspects of radio

putting up a GMRS repeater in the orange county, upstate NY
area, to cover Florida, Goshin, Middletown and all other surrounding

Right, that is why I said "makes" and not "made". The SportBase was a
pretty decent unit for it's time, however it hasn't been sold in a
while, neither has the SM50 mobile it is based off of. They are
occasionally on E-Bay, but few and far between. Personally, I think
there are better radios out there now on the used market. While I do

Actually, Motorola DID make a mobile/base that was preprogrammed for GMRS.
SportBase. Basically a preprogrammed SM50.
Seems to me I saw at least one of the japanese radio companies with one a
few years ago.
Personally, I've got 50 watt Motorola Syntor x9000's as my mobiles.
I put my agency's channels in it too.

R,
No, no one makes a "pre-programmed" GMRS mobile radio.
There are, however, many commercial grade UHF mobile radios that meet
the FCC Part 95 specifications for GMRS. You would need to pick one of
those, and either have it programmed, or program it yourself. Since
they are commercial grade radios, they do not always have all the

GMRS Permanent Mount Mobile Radio?

2008-07-19T15:55:10Z

Does anyone manufacture a permanent-mount mobile GMRS radio for
installation in vehicles? While walkie-talkies are inexpensive and
reasonably effective, I'd prefer a radio for which I didn't have to
recharge the batteries. Thanks in advance.
