Can these radios be used on a repeater?

These cannot be used on a repeater, check out the MS350R which can be used with a repeater. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MS350R-35-Mile-Talkabout-Waterproof/dp/B004PGM9PO/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&qid=1386011800&sr=8-28&keywords=two+way+radio

I can make the 223.880 repeater 10 miles a way with good signal. that is what I wanted. I made a 220 J pole antenna so I won't be using it much longer.

You can program the BaoFeng UV-3R to use offsets for repeaters. You might use CHIRP or the BaoFeng software. Either should work. The programing cable maybe purchased from Amazon.com for around $10.00. Since it is a Dual band (2m and 70cm) the offset will be different. 2m will be +-600khz and 70cm will be -5Mhz. The only real limitation is the number of memory channels. Hope this answers your question.

I don't think so. The repeater only picks up existing wireless and increases / repeats signal. I would have to recommend looking further into item description on website. good luck.

I do not know for sure, but they all operate on the same frequencies. Most likely you can. Ours work great.

Hi I think you will be fine with these radios, it works great and easy to use. Also saves last channel. do invest in longer antennas tho. Hope this helpsCheers

No this definitely wouldn't be powerful enough for that on its own.... You'd need to add a high gain antenna and a signal booster... However that's cheaper than a higher grade repeater

You could try it, but insuspect you will get a high swr reading. This means that when tou try to transmit the signal will be heavily reflected back into your radio. This will severely limit your broadcast range and eventually burn up your radio. Mounting away from metal is best.

If you can hit a repeater pretty far. Personally, I hated this radio. The programming is very difficult with no help from the manufacturer. I'd get a Kenwood (as I have) 2 meter radio. Superior service, and trusted. I'd honestly "Stay away" from this radio..Best wishes,WS6GTO

I am not an expert on FCC regulations. However, since these radios are sold to the public and their range is limited, it is my opinion that you can pick any of the available channels and use them. I would imagine that the low transmission power on these radios would preclude them from requiring a license on any frequency.

These are two way radios, you can use as many as you like. You can talk to anyone within range if they are on the same frequency. These are FRS/GMRS radios, so they will work with any radios capable of using FRS/GMRS frequencies. Keep in mind that you need a GMRS license to operate on the GMRS frequencies. Without a license you can only use channels 1-14. If you want to use the other channels you need to get a license from the FCC.

Think they would work. I used radios that aren't as good as these are when I was a stevedore working in Egypt, now with that said, this wasn't a pleasure cruse ship, so It didn't have all the bells and whistles like a cruse ship does that might interfere with the signal.

This item is compatible with Any item that uses infrared (IR) to transmit remote signals. Most all remotes use IR, and I'm willing to bet your uverse receiver does as well. If you see a "window" on the top of your remote it uses IR and will work with this repeater.

you could if you talk off a repeater tower with it.but just going radio to radio it is unlikely.

Yes, I believe almost any Z-Wave or Zigbee device that has AC power serves as a repeater

Of course. But remember you will have to program them with frequencies you are authorized to use. Out of the box they have some frequencies set that it would be a bad idea for you to start transmitting on.

I can't answer you definitively on either point. generally range is limited to line of sight but it can sometimes go farther. I live about 20 miles down the valley from a ham repeater that i can access no problem. "emergency communications" covers a lot of uses but it will certainly work for any simplex or repeater use within the frequency range listed. On i side note, the stock antenna works well for portable use but if you plan to use it in a building or vehicle invest in an antenna you can mount outside; also a programming cable is worth every penny.
