Welcome to the AGRG Network Page
We're delighted to have you here! This portal is your comprehensive resource for all things related to the Arkansas GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) Repeater Network. Whether you're here to monitor the live connection status of each repeater, explore our interactive map, listen to live audio, or dive into the audio archives, you've come to the right place.
Understanding Our Network
What is this "network"? Simply put, our network allows GMRS repeaters within Arkansas to connect or "link" with each other, significantly extending the range over which users can communicate. When repeaters are linked, radio traffic received by one is simultaneously retransmitted by all connected repeaters, thereby increasing the communication area.
Real-Time Connection Status
Here, you can check the live, real-time connection status of every repeater in our network. Both the network console and our interactive map display up-to-date connection details, ensuring you are always informed of the network's operational status.
How Our Network Functions
It’s important to note that not all repeaters are constantly linked. Repeater owners can choose to connect their systems to our network or disconnect at their discretion. As such, the connectivity of linked repeaters can vary, influenced by factors such as internet connectivity at the repeater locations or the decisions made by the repeaters' owners.
