TIP! WHERE TO FIND REPEATER INFO

Repeater info can be found on the MYGMRS website (or its APP), it provides a decent list of repeaters.

When used with a GMRS Repeater, the talking range of UV-5G is greatly increased.

Why choose GMRS over FRS?

GMRS repeater is capable. UV-5G, the long-distance walkie-talkies, can take advantage of GMRS repeaters to get a more powerful, further-ranging signal. -- This is not an option with FRS radios.
GMRS radios allow Wide-band FM to provide a louder and clearer signal than the FRS radios restricted to Narrow-band FM with a lower power rating.
The UV-5G provides more selectable channels than FRS radios, more CTCSS and DCS tone options to reduce unwanted signals.
