I’m new to GMRS. Just got my GMRS license 5 days ago. Bought 2 Baofeng R9 HT and a BTech 50V2 I’m going to use as a base. I wanted a way to communicate with local family/friends should internet and cell go out. I haven’t had much time to monitor chat yet still trying to learn and set things up. I hope to connect with others from the area.
