Now that the FCC has allowed GMRS to have the ability for the “transmission of limited data applications such as text messaging and GPS location information”, is anyone using such features? Is there a protocol that has been standardized, similar to APRS, or is it left to each manufacturer to have their own protocol? (Hopefully there is a standardized protocol.) Anyone actually even using these features? Are there any GMRS transceivers on the market yet taking advantage of this? Hmm. Wondering if this could be used over linked GMRS networks as well? Just curious... Thanks.
