The Seward Amateur Radio Club is hosting a General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) repeater in the Seward area on 462.700 MHz. (GMRS channel 21). The repeater may be used by anyone with a current GMRS license. Many people already have Family Radio Service (FRS) radios with GMRS capabilities. The repeater would extend the range of coverage between downtown, Bear Creek, Exit Glacier, and Nash road areas.
GMRS licensure does not require a test. The application fee is $35 and the licensure is good for 10 years. The license may be used by anyone in the immediate family (household). It may be used on any GMRS systems in the United States. Also, license holders may conduct business activities on GMRS frequencies.
