I do hear a lot of FRS chatter, but GMRS is radio silent save for a little CW from repeaters. When I got into GMRS I was dumb enough to think it was going to be a CB replacement on the road. I am part of a big network in Chattanooga (North Georgia GMRS) and I talk to all sorts of folks in the evenings from my living room. But, I think the cell phones are the overall go-to if you want to chat while driving.

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone uses their radio to try to make contacts on long drives. I regularly drive I-75 from Chattanooga, TN to Dayton, OH and aside from hitting some repeaters, I hardly hear any traffic. I also try to call for contacts about every 20-30 miles with no result. Do you keep your mobile/HT on in the car to make contacts or chat with other vehicles outside of your traveling party? Thanks, WQZP891
