WSEZ864 Posted January 7 Report Posted January 7 Hi All, I'm a new GMRS user and recently got my license, mainly to allow my family to participate without the licensing exams (my wife would never take the amateur exams) and also to broaden my own communication capabilities. I've been into electronics since the 70s, when I worked on radars for the Army and enjoy learning about radio. I had a CB license back in the day and still have a CB radio, albeit disused. I'm a licensed ham, an Amateur Extra for about 11 years and a volunteer examiner for administering the ham exams with my local amateur radio club. I also hold a GROL+Radar and a GMDSS license, which I decided to go ahead and test for since one of the very few east coast NMEA test facilities is only about 10 miles from my home. I've joined the forum to learn more about GMRS operations and better understand the equipment and operation. Thank you for having me! WRUU653 and Hoppyjr 2 Quote

You're in the right place. There are some very smart and helpful members here, many amateur + GMRS combos like yourself. And a few lightweights like me. SteveShannon 1 Quote

WSGP755 Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 Hello everyone, I got into gmrs while looking for better offroad communication. (No cell service) I'm in the middle TN area but we ride all over the state. Recieved my lisence and callsign on 1/9/25 and I'm hooked. I currently just have some handheld radios with magnet antenas, but I plan on upgrading soon. Thanks for letting me join the group! SteveShannon and WRUU653 2 Quote

WSGV572 Posted Monday at 06:13 AM Report Posted Monday at 06:13 AM Good evening to all. I want to take this opportunity to offer you a salute (of respect) from this retired Master Sergeant (U.S.Army). I retired in 1991, after serving 20 years right out of high school, and returned to my roots here in Northern Minnesota. Never really dabbled in radio communications (other than squwakin’ on a CB once in a while). The Mrs. & I kinda “hybernate” in the winter months and I thought getting into some GMRS activity may help pass the time until the snow & cold are replaced by the warmth of summer. Then I can uncover the Harley (trike) and get back on the road! Plus, one never knows what other GMRS adventures could develop. In any event, I look forward to learning much more about the airwaves while gleaning whatever I can from the wealth of wisdom I suspect lie within this forum. Thanks for the invite and I appreciate the opportunity to join. WRXB215 1 Quote
