Hi Gang, My first post, long time lurker. Not sure if this should be a seperate topic. I noticed in my area (Minneapolis/St Paul) that a number of small companies are on FRS/GMRS shared Freqs. And even on the freqs that I thought were FRS only. Our local reniassance festival is doing this. I brought out my cheapie bubble wrap FRS radio because I suspected they were doing this and sure enough, they were. Discussion point, if there are only FRS freqs, is it just ignorance? Or are they trying to get by as cheap as possible?
