Ask a question and the strange people come out to play...... LOL

Found some!

How do you find repeaters and then how would you request access to one if you don't have access.....LOL

I sure hope not... I'd hate to think I wasted money getting back into that junk. I think I still have an old cobra radio somewhere...lol

I found a simple explanation on how to use it properly. With a range of only a few miles Maybe 20 on a good day and the right equipment.... What is the use of GMRS outside of using it amongst family members during outings or while working together.

I'm new to GMRS... Actually haven't bought my first radio yet. I used CB radios back in the 70s. Not really new to radios. However, this is a step up from CB and a little below the level of Ham (Some might say a lot below, I get it)...And I am coms officer for CAP Squadron. Is there a written prodigal for using/Broadcasting GMRS? I hope it's nothing like " breaker 19 this is the rubber duck".... Or spit in the back and yell hello like Andy Griffith in " no Time for Sergeants". You just key up and start talking? I'm kind of a stickler for rules so I want to make sure I understand this system and how to use it properly.
