I'm not recommending anyone do anything illegal, just nice to know you have many options for coms during a real emergency.
That's why I don't like GMRS radios being locked out of other bands. I'd hate to be in a real life-or-death situation, listening to someone on a band that is locked out of TX while I bleed out.
I know it's not likely to ever happen, but then again, that's the kind of luck I have.
