WQGU515 GMRS repeater on 462.675 PL 141.3 in Williamsport, PA atop Bald Eagle Mountain just south of Williamsport.  This repeater uses Allstarlink/Hamvoip/Raspberry Pi 3B+ as the repeater controller.and is connected to the internet which allows weather alerts and other radio traffic both of the hobby and day to day chit chat.  Many of us are also licensed ham radio operators as well.  The repeater is connected to the mygmrs.com network.  There is a Eastern Regional Net on Sundays at 7 PM eastern time.  The repeater is open to all licensed GMRS operators.  Some of the things GMRS does is gets people on the radio and hopefully interested in the radio hobby, but also used for many other things since the license covers your family, it is used for a variety of communications.  Its a good stepping stone to get interested in ham radio as well.  There are FCC rules that are to be followed which can be found on fcc.gov but that is only for transmitting not receiving like yours doing on here but if you decided to get your license you would want to be familiar with things.  (GMRS) General Mobile Radio Service
