Keep in mind that there is a good chance that no radio service will work large-scale in an emergency. -

Amazon says the Tidradio TD-H3 can receive airband. I don't own one so I don't know anything about it. I have several H.A.M. radios that will do it, but after ten minutes I get bored with the airband. YMMV.

I don't recall 100%, but I think when I bought my UT-72G, it came with an adapter to connect my handheld. -

Except the FCC is not creating laws. They are creating rules for the amateur / GMRS radio services, which are to be followed as a condition of being granted / keeping a license to operate. -

If they switched to MURS, they could have plays called "clean up on aisle 7" and "Whopper with cheese" and no one would be the wiser.

Immediate family use of gmrs callsign
-
I would like to hear a call sign at the beginning of the transmission so I can address the person on the other end.

I have yet to use any radio in an emergency. If I need to, I will use my 50 watt mobile on 2M, 70CM, and GMRS to cry out. Whoever answers first wins!

What is this part that came with my antenna?
back4more70 replied to offroadkid's question in Technical Discussion
Looks like a spacer/water seal insert. -
Why really some folks say GMRS repeater linking is illegal

I've also had no trouble on the FCC site, I guess we are in the minority -
New to the GMRS world. Looking for solid training
back4more70 replied to WSDB779's question in Technical Discussion
I recommend (in addition to YouTube) picking up a ARRL Technician license book at the library. Not to study for the test, but there are a lot of solid concepts in there regarding antennas, propagation, theory, etc. Just skip the boring parts (electrical components, formulas, etc.). -
Sometimes the NOAA station near me is silent for hours. Perhaps check online and make sure it is transmitting. I have seen outages reported for various reasons.

Does a HAM and GMRS antenna exist?
back4more70 replied to WSDV406's question in Technical Discussion
This is humerus -
I can appreciate all of these questions, but does no one ever hire an electrician?

My first GMRS HT was a Baofeng UV-9G. Not stellar, but the price was right and the radio is decent while I was learning. After I spent some time with it and learning not just its features but GMRS practice/theory/etc., I bought a Wouxun KV-935G Plus and have been very happy with that. As others have said, if you are looking to just have conversations with folks you don't know, that is more of a H.A.M. thing. However, if you will make or already have associates using GMRS, then have at it and enjoy!
