I am both a ham radio and GMRS operator. I love topics like this. So called SAD hams. Oh I love that term. But in reality I find hams and GMRS operators very friendly and welcome questions and contacts from all operators. Both of our local ham and GMRS clubs are welcoming to all and I have many friends that have both licenses. A lot of us can from CB radio. So radio is radio. It is how you approach it. Just enjoy it and the people you meet. Both have their place. GMRS as you all know operates on fixed frequencies and the types of radios and the power you can use is fixed. Han radio is experimental and it is up to the operator for the most part. Still at the end of the day it is about making a contact from point a to point b. Enjoy the radio and friends you make.
