GMRS Live

GMRS LIVE is the backbone of my GMRS Repeater giving me the ability to link to other repeaters/networks using Radio over Internet Linking Protocol (ROIP).

On Monday September 30th 2024 GMRS LIVE is going to halt all GMRS activity. Due to a clarification from the FCC regarding GMRS linking, my nodes have been taken offline. 9/2024

ABOUT

I’ve been interested in GMRS for a while and thought it would be a good way for my family to keep in touch without them having to get their Amateur Radio license.

One of my many interests in Amateur Radio is VOIP linking. I was thrilled to stumble across the GMRS Live group recently and see that they have implemented the infrastructure to allow linking on GMRS.

I run many Allstar nodes on Amateur radio and already had the hardware required to use on the network, I just need to download and install their version of the linking software and change some frequencies on my linking radio.

With my Simplex node up an running now I will finally finish getting my GMRS repeater back up on the air and possible create a HUB node to link my and possible some friends repeaters together.

HARDWARE

The basic hardware needed to setup your own link will consist of:

  • Raspberry Pi Computer
  • GMRS Radio
  • Interface Board
