Greetings! First, new here, first post. I started as a HAM back when I was 14, now pushing 40 I realized all the hiking, camping, and our volunteer work with the family it was easier to get a $70 license to cover us all, than try to convince them all for the next 5 years again to get a HAM license. FRS was useful on hikes, or in close vicinity vehicle travel, but GMRS allowed me to keep a small portable in every vehicle, with small mag-mount antenna, and a mobile/base in the home on a roof antenna and gives emergency comms for the family if no cell coverage or the like. In my area, just about everyone on GMRS is also a Ham, so I've run into plenty club friends on the local repeaters here. 73, Skylda WRHS956 K3ZRT
