Hi, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a new Ham operator (KN4VIR), and I've had my GMRS license about 6 mos. I originally got the license for when we go rockhunting. I'm able to spread out a little without having to shout to the grandkids. No one seemed interested in becoming a ham so I figured this would do. Seems to work ok. Not a lot of traffic around here, but VHF frequencies are quiet here to. Well just wanted to give everyone a shout out.

I can sign under this. I use GMRS on the trails and on camping trips. Our family outings are safer and more entertaining because of the use of GMRS radio. Thinking about "doing radio" as a hobby? Get a HAM ticket, get a part 95 or part 90 UHF radio that can also work on HAM bands. TK-880-1 (part 95) works just fine on 70cm, I'm sure other Kenwoods and Motorolas do too. There are (were?) a dual-band Part 90 Alinco mobiles out there.
