WSHU859

I just joined this "MyGMRS.com" a half hour ago. There are hundreds of thousands of both FRS, and GMRS radios, and licenses nationwide. There are only 30 members active here. I am looking at the dates of posts, and responses. Very OLD. I was under the impression, I was joining something that was growing, as more, and more people find this great communication system for friends, family, hunting, camping, and even emergency use where there is no cell coverage. I guess, I was wrong. Please let me know if im lost, or if this is what is actually here. I'm not impressed, especially since my computer had an attack from an advertiser. Where is this websites security protection. It just cost me $50.00 to unlock my computer from windows, because of this site.

WSHU859 Well, while the original post for this topic was in 2022, I believe we should support this action. I live in a rural area, where the entire county only has cell service on the main roads, and on the PA. Turnpike. The other main roads such as 522 virtually has no cell coverage at all. If there is an emergency, such as a vehicle accident, fire, or need police, you actually need to drive about 7 miles for cell coverage. My 50 watt GMRS in my truck is good for over 16 miles in this same dead zone for cellular. The sad part is that the office of emergency management, and or the 911 call center do not monitor CB, GMRS, FRS, or Smoke Signals. I believe we have an opportunity here to both use the GMRS system for better communications between friends, and family, but to greatly help with rural emergency situations. I am actually shocked that the FCC is not promoting this system. Let's keep pushing chanel 19, and 20 for road use, and start actively talking to 911 centers. Thank you.
