This is not sponsored by Nevada Shooters, although there are at least a couple of us that participate.

There is a Thursday night net on this repeater every Thursday. Many times the topic is gun related.

OK, so using a regular GMRS radio, I want channel 21 and need to set the receiving and transmitting CTCSS tone of 100.00, correct? Do I need to set a freq offset?

Transmit on 467.700 tone 100.0 (If you don't Tx on this, you won't be hitting a repeater)
Receive on 462.700 tone 100.0
Repeater is located on Low Potosi.

I assume there is as well. Hopefully one of the asshats will be interfering with it. It's pretty sad. Makes you wonder what's so pathetic in their lives that they get their jolleys interfering with people communicating on a radio....

I won't be within range tonight, however.

@GatorJim they should also have a net at the same time on the 625 machine.

The one on the 625 machine tends now to be about radio, RF theory, etc. and there is some good solid info there from a guy who makes his living working on radios.

Yeah, it's an entertaining net, listening to it here at ccsc. The jamming though...
