Welcome to Gummers! In this section of GMRS Web Magazine Professional Broadcast Engineer and GMRS radio licensee Paul Shinn shares his vast knowledge, tireless wit, and professional technical opinion. You will find excellent information about building and maintaining a GMRS repeater system.

He's bright (when he walks into a room the lights are definitely on, at least most circuits are), he's controversial (stirs the pot constantly, do look over your shoulder), he's married and lives on a boat (easy vacations), he's Central California's most popular broadcast engineer (he engineers for like 13 stations), he's really polite (more or less), he's incredibly into this stuff (radio), and his mantra is, "No question is a dumb question!" Join Paul in the dark-world of mountain-top communication vaults and dusty repeater cabinets where only real radio technicians and black widow spiders dare to tread.
