FCC Part 95e Title 47 of the Electronic Code of Regulations (GMRS)

OregonGMRS.org is a small non-profit with a mission to provide GMRS Radio communications to Southern Oregon. GMRS radio is a great resource that isn't limited to little low power "walkie talkies" and can provide communications for anything from recreation, to assisting in natural disasters such as floods and fire which we experience often in Southern Oregon. We are not a club, do not have a membership and do not require anything but an active GMRS license and some patience and courtesey to use our GMRS repeaters. Please be kind and helpful to all. We accept cash donations to assist with repeater sites, maintenance and legacy costs. Donations are appreciated but not required.

Ok, what is GMRS? GMRS is a UHF radio service available to the public with a simple no test required license. Radio communication has really fallen by the wayside due to such widespread coverage with cell phones and internet email, chat, social networking etc. While cell phones will never be replaced with two way radios in everyday life, some of us tend to venture out where even today there is no reliable cell service. Similar to FRS which is the radio service for families that utilizes those little 1/2 watt walkie talkies you can buy in the blister packs at WalMart or Cabelas, GMRS can utilize both small walkie talkie style radios, high power mobile units (up to 50 watts) and even mountain top repeaters. GMRS can be utilized for nearly anything you wish from communicating with other vehicles as you travel down the interstate, to keeping your children safe while camping, or even for emergencies when out in rural areas on adventures. The best part about GMRS is that once you pay for your license and your radios, your whole family can enjoy wireless communication without paying anyone monthly fees. An individual license is only $35.00 for 10 years (NO TEST REQUIRED) and allows your immediate family to transmit on GMRS.

Radios are a fantastic tool for communication and emergency communications for everyone weather you're enjoy camping, fishing, hunting, exploring off road trails in your 4x4, dirt bike, side by side, or just want an affordable way to keep your family in communication around town or in the rural parts of Southern Oregon. Most of us have uses "walkie Talkies" and have experienced the limited range they offer. GMRS is a radio service that allows the use of "Repeaters" which are basically relay stations on mountain tops that can "repeat" your conversation at much greater distances than simply talking from one radio to another. GMRS requires a $35.00 FCC license that is good for your entire family, good for 10 years, does NOT require any tests, nd is extremely affordable ($3.50 per year!) This allows you to use repeaters and higher powered radio equipment as well as the GMRS radios you can purchase from most sporting goods stores. Get your FCC license now!

We don't charge for using our repeaters (it's actually unlawful to demand payment for use in GMRS) Our repeaters are free to use for any licensed individual or family. Businesses however are not allowd to use GMRS, thus preserving this service for people to talk freely on, discuss hobbies, locate each other, reach out for help and of course as always use for any emergency. We welcome people to talk and be polite, make friends, and just have a good time. You are welcome to donate to Oregon GMRS to help with the costs of the repeaters, but you are not required to.

Ask us about Pre-Programmed Radios. We can help you locate mobile and portable radios for licensed GMRS users, and can show you how easy it is to obtain your families GMRS license. We are not a business, just a group of friends trying to introduce and promote GMRS radio use for people that are interesed in two way radio communications.
