Steve, The only reference I can find is 95.29(f)(1) that states the GMRS transmissions must be voice type, but no reference yes or no to analog vs digital. I find no place does it state one can only use 16F3 analog, but still it must be voice.
The only catch is are your P25 radios type accepted for GMRS. I am sure the rigs say 450-474 MHz, but this does not always mean type accepted for some services. One case was using a Micor in the Marine freq. The VHF Micor did not meet freq tol then (not sure about now for there are lots of $100 boat rigs on the market). I think the hang up was Micors could run 110 W and there was a limit of 50 W on Marine band. I am sure your P25 rigs will meet all GMRS specs, not hard to do when a typical Radio Shack GMRS radio cost $40 new, hi, but might be a problem. Not sure. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: Steve <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2008/07/02 Wed AM 01:35:38 EDT >To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GMRS and P25 Question > >I have a question if someone might be able to awnser it grate . > >I am getting ready to Setup a GMRS Repeater .
