The Zello channel is linked to the 462.575 GMRS repeater in Paron, Arkansas. Paron 575 is the Central Hub repeater of the Arkansas GMRS Repeater Group, allowing this to be the official Zello channel for the Central Hub.

TRANSMITTING IN THE ZELLO CHANNEL IS ONLY FOR GMRS LICENSED RESIDENTS OF ARKANSAS, AND MEMBERS OF THE ARKANSAS GMRS REPEATER GROUP. Thank you for understanding!

You must be “trusted” to transmit. To become “trusted”, FIRST make sure there is an admin online, then transmit a voice message stating your name, callsign, and location, and ask an admin to make you a “trusted” user. Until you have been “trusted”, your messages will only be heard by admins, and will not be sent to the repeater, network, or other users.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and welcome! We’re so glad to have you!
