REPOST on HOW TO CREATE AN EMERGENCY PLAN USING GMRS RADIOS

  HOW TO CREATE AN EMERGENCY PLAN  USING GMRS RADIOS The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines to create a plan for local emergency communications using General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) radios. We recommend that you print this document and the webpages referenced, purchase your radios, and begin to practice with them as soon as possible. It is Lealso wise to take notes on any videos you watch. An index is provided on page 6. Important : We explain why GMRS is a good option for many people, however, learning to use radio technology is by nature a very self-directed effort. Unlike cell and landline phones, there are no technical support groups to call about programming or using your radios. Further, GMRS radios are not considered ham (amateur) radios because they operate on different frequencies and under different Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations; therefore, most ham radio clubs do not directly support GMRS. Please carefully consider these fact...

Using CTCSS or PL tones on receive so you don't hear the repeater's ID

We know the CTCSS or PL subaudible tones on the transmit side access various repeaters so we can communicate. The problem is you hear the repeaters ID every time it goes off about every 15 minutes, this can be annoying especially at night.  To stop hearing the repeaters ID yet receive calls using the proper PL tone you need to enter the same PL tone on the transmit to the receive side of your radio.  On my Wouxun handheld the setting for the transmit tone on our local 462.675  repeater  is 100.0 for the T-CTC setting. To stop hearing the repeater ID enter 100.0 in the  R-CTC setting. On other radios the settings should be similar. Using the receive tone allows you to monitor the repeater for traffic without hearing the repeater ID every time it ID's. I have two channels set for the local repeater one says Home the second says Home QT for quiet tone.  In the future I'll post how to enter an emergency tone so you won't be bothered by normal communications yet...
