Last month I was told that it was down due to storm damage but had not heard if it was being repaired.

The OKC East repeater is back online – different hardware and location but the same frequency and tone.

I just got into GMRS earlier this year and I had difficulty getting my first radio programmed. What kind of radios do you have?

We have paid the repeater up through January. I’ve got an updated spreadsheet but I’m having trouble logging in. I’ll get with the website people and see what’s up. I’m sure it’s due soon anyway.

I live near Keystone Lake. I found a Sand Springs repeater on a website but not sure it’s there anymore or working. The only others I found were in Sapulpa and one in Jennings. Does anybody know of any around Keystone Lake or Shell Lake?
I posted on the Facebook group but still says it’s pending review……..

Anyone have any details on the status of the 650 repeater? Either all 3 of my radios are broken or the repeater is down.

I could hear the net but guess I’m to far away to get out. It was a pleasure listening in!

I am a new license with three family members. Do we have to use a unique suffix after our call to differentiate between each of us? Thanks

No they do now however it’s much easier to id each one as unit 1 unit 2 etc. Much less confusing

I actually kinda figured out what is going on here. The “forum” (aka comments) is enabled on this page and the Forum page. When you post on one of those pages, the post is actually a comment bc the pages are treated as essentially forum posts. Well, technically they are pages but even still that is why the forum does not seem consistent as some of us traditionally understand forums and why different comments show under this page as compared to the Forum page. I think this is a WordPress thing since that is what was used to build the site but not 100% on that.
I attached a screenshot that shows the comment I am replying to and another comment. They are comments against different pages and as such exist in different spaces. That is why the forum looks disconnected.
I’ll do a little more research around this but ya mystery solved as far as I am concerned.

Honestly, now that I have distilled the behavior down in my brain, the text at the top of this page “New feature added! “Forum” section of the website now active. A comment board has been repurposed as a messaging board for group posting” basically describes how I described it. It was all there in front of us all along lol

Ok, I’m signed up for June 9. I’ll go get my antenna pole from eufaula and scrounge up a radio from somewhere. One of my radios is down in Ardmore in my Ford that threw a driveshaft. My other was in the camper that was stolen off the back. So I’m gonna have to buy one I suppose. Shux right, hahaha. I wish I would have had them insured with aarl but I was lacking there thinking I had coverage on the stuff inside. Wouldn’t you know it the bastards only cover for fire not theft. Ah, oh well. What do you expect with corporate con men. They lobby to mandate insurance by the state and then then raise the prices. You might as well have full coverage for the price of liability anyway. But oh, boy. You go to file a claim and it’s a long list of items and situations they exclude. Hey you try to get a tow on or around an eclipse day. Let alone a garage to take your truck and camper to. Well hell y’all don’t need to read about me going on about insurance. I ran out of characters anyway. So I’ll j

Ok thank you, I may need to. I’m going to look on Amazon or eBay for something cheap this evening.

I still use this cheap QYT KT8900. I got it from amazon for $68 going on 3 years ago. Except for a mic that died it has been flawless. I thing the mic was like $15 to replace. If they are still cheap, I highly recommend these things. Rated at 15 watts UHF, mine puts out just over 20 on GMRS 19.

My apologies to everyone. I signed up for net control on the 19th by mistake and put it in my phone as the 26th.
The repeater is available for nets anytime that one is not previously scheduled. There is no need to schedule it but your check in count may be higher if you do. Please note that there may be people at times break in and request to make quick contact. That can be disruptive to the flow of the net, but we do pause for priority or emergency traffic. The caller should use discernment regarding the level of priority to the net and interruptions should be kept as brief as possible. Also remember to keep everything within the bounds of the law, FCC or otherwise.
