Request for new Talk Group GMRA (Grand Mesa Repeater
Association) 174

Hi There,
I am one of the technical leads for a large linked repeater
system in Western Colorado (
HTML http://gmra.org
) we have 14
linked repeaters that cover western Colorado, Eastern Utah and
parts of AZ. We host RACES / ARES and AUX comm groups as well
as search and rescue. We have had more and more interest in
DMR and as of now there is only one repeater in Grand Junction
and it's tied to BM and sits on TAC310 all the time. We are
interested in getting some DMR repeaters at our sites and giving
our members DMR access as well as giving them the capability of
setting up hot spots if they are in a fringe area. my email
address is wa4hnd@gmra.org Right now we also have IRLP and
All-star support but neither is used on a regular basis.

Hi Robert,
I've been pondering that question. For people in Colorado,
Eastern Utah and AZ, our system is simply referred to as GMRA (
Grand Mesa Repeater Association ) but that's not a good
description for anyone not in that area. I guess we could
explain that to people via the Wiki and also have a link to our
web site (
HTML http://gmra.org
) ( we plan to update the site with
a ton of DMR info on how to find TGIF and our TG on DMR, once we
know what the TG number will be.
I really can't nail it down to an area because we have a lot of
members who are retired and travel the entire southwest in their
motor homes So you'll have people on there using hot spots that
could be anyplace from CO south to CO west. ( one of the reasons
for the request in the first place )
I guess "GMRA" or "Grand Mesa Repeater Association" would make
the most sense and we'll explain in the WIKI. BTW both I and
son are enjoying the hot spots... well done sir.

Thanks Robert,
We'll start getting the word out.
Will try to start the Wiki entry this weekend and start updating
our web site next week.
