Marvelous explanation! Thank you very much.

Thank you, sir! Much appreciated.

I am brand new to this and just got my GMRS license this week. I have not used a CB radio since the 70s, but considering the range of CB vs FRS, or better, GMRS, what is the advantage of the latter over the former? Second question, are there radios that combine CB with FRS/GMRS capabilities or are the two just so separate animals that they are never combined into one unit? As a side note, one reason I ask about CBs is that I just drug out two Cobra 19 Plus radios from 1986. They appear to be in excellent shape but transmission/reception is yet to be proven. I'll try and test them tomorrow. Thanks for your discussion. Danny
