  1. Thank you sir for your reply. I too eventually want to get into Ham someday and this is the first step for me to try something new. I know nothing about the GMRS but do on the ole CB. Will look into getting one of those good radios you spoke of that is repeater capable. Thanks again.
  2. I don't know to be honest. Never used a hand held unit or repeater. Live in the out skirts of a city and like to go fishing down on the bay. Don't really know anything about them. Only used a CB all my life. Wanted to try something new.
  3. Howdy Neighbor. I am in the same boat as you are. Wanting to get a good radio for my GMRS as well. Been using a CB all my life and now a retired truck driver of 38 years. Was just issued my number yesterday. Been using the ole CB back when they issued a license for a Class D Radio many moons ago. Call sign WRNP631 now. You must of just received your number before mine. I go by Droopy. Any suggestions on a good radio?. Thanks and 73's your way.
  4. Hello Everyone. Looking for some advise. I just recently received my NEW LICENSE for GMRS Radio Services. I am a old retired truck driver of 38 years and used a CB all my life even before I starting my driving career. Back in the day they (The FCC) issued a license for a Class D Radio for the CB and then dropped the license requirement years down the road. Well to this day I still use my base station to make daily contact with our locals to chat daily and have a meet and greet about once every three to four months before the pandemic hit and unfortunately seems to be coming back. My questions are is there any special requirements to start using the GMRS Services like using certain lingo or back in the day and I do mean way back used to have to give out our call sign and I am interested in purchasing some new LEGAL equipment and not the cheep stuff with no range from any of the box stores. Would like some good decent equipment that anyone of you have and would recommend with likes and dislikes as well as any lingo or other things I should know. Thanks for your time and help. 73's your way. Droopy
