Thank you for the links and welcome. I do plan on using the magnetic mounted antenna for now. I'm a little iffy about drilling holes in my roof for a NMO mount (from what I've researched online reguarding a different antenna). After I upgrade the front bumper of the 4Runner to a metal bumper, I'll most likely move the antenna to it utilizing a NMO mount.

Hey everyone, so I'm new to GMRS and I just finished the install of the Midland MXT115 into my overlanding rig last night. My overlanding partner and I bought the radios for truck to truck coms during our trips. I'm a bit confused as to what I'm required to do before broadcasting. I know that using the GMRS is a bit like HAM but being that I'm more knowledgeable with CB and that I haven't ever used GMRS or HAM before, I'm kinda lost. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? Maybe a thread or website I can read the procedures on how to use the airways properly? Thanks in advance!

Congratulations, and welcome to the GMRS community. The first thing to know is that you must identity with your FCC issued call sign. At the beginning of your transmission, then about every ten minutes. The ham world has a whole world of protocols some of which apply only to certain bands. GMRS is much simpler. Just remember to ID when transmitting.
