@WSFP451 welcome. In the case of shtf, repeaters likely won't be available. At least not for long. After hurricane Berl, my favorite ham repeater was down but fortunately my second favorite one was still up as well as my favorite GMRS repeater. Any way, in the case of shtf, try to keep your loved ones close enough for simplex if you can. The shorter distance will also help you get to them quickly if need be.

It's always a good idea to learn and practice things like this. I don't have the book but I have military experience.
-
Yes, that too.

I'm starting to think this one is the UV-5R of mobile radios. It's popularity is quite impressive.
-
Ok, I like that idea.
-
That sounds like a perfect use case for GMRS.

Just don't use your hair dryer in the bathtub.

A very wise man once said "Watch and see who the media attacks the most. That's the one who should actually be president." He said that because that is the one outside the "establishment."

@nokones Nice summary Kenny. Another little piece of history that I find fascinating is the use of reeds.

Horizontal is used a lot for HF where you get skip but I doubt it would be useful for UHF. Especially since you will loose some because of the change in polarization.

It seems to be a regional thing. Some people claim it's dead but around the greater Houston area, it's alive and well.

Join the crowd. The only thing that holds me back is lack of funds.

I can't say for sure myself obviously but I've heard that you also get unlimited reactions. -
There may be some people still using nodes. If that is the case, they could be anywhere there is Internet.

looking for a good kenwood style 2pin mic/speaker for HT while mobile
WRXB215 replied to WSES772's topic in Equipment Reviews
Double check the pinouts. Just because it is the same plug, doesn't mean it's wired the same. -
On our ham net last night it was announced that there is a new GMRS repeater in the area. That's another way to let people know in a "non-intrusive" way.

I have no firsthand experience with the KG-1000G but I have heard nothing but good about it.
-
I love the way you put that. Yep, he's bad about that.
-
If I remember correctly, it's going to be a long drive for that beer.

@WSEM624 I would wish you luck but I know you don't need luck. You'll do just fine. BTW, it two-way-radios it's called "transmitting" not "broadcasting" </end sad-ham rant>
-
Maybe I should take an HT and test all my GFCI outlets.

@WSEV474KennyS Welcome to GMRS. There is a wealth of knowledge here.

Radioditty Handheld won’t communicate with RD mobile on repeater channel
WRXB215 replied to WRDL400's question in Technical Discussion
The radios are probably too close together and you are experiencing desense. Get someone to help and move the HT 50 feet away and try again. -
I'd rather hand my non-amateur licensed family members a locked GMRS radio and not worry about them accidently keying up on an amateur frequency.
