Is there a PMR gate way open?

Post by StormShadow »

:? I don't know if there are Americans over here chatting away on 446 it just seems odd and then I make contacts to local people who say there are gateways on 446 is this true? I am told that the gateways are linked by the internet via FRS/GMRS which are 462 MHz FRS and 467 MHz GMRS in the U.S are they pulling my leg?

Have a look on the FRN site, I believe they have lists of active nodes, their frequencies and thei locations.

Using the system it is quite possible for you to talk to someone through the network, using a local 446 node and have them be on a completely different frequency on the other end, we even have some nodes here in the UK which are on the UK CB bands. :-)
