I've seen his videos. LOL

I was just wondering if there was something like a book or a push start for someone like myself. 

 

It really does depend how you learn best. There’s not very many books on GMRS, like a “For Dummies” book, but many of the concepts will be very similar in ham radio and there are a buttload of books for that. I suggest visiting the public library. 
Another thing would be to see if there’s a local to you radio club, either GMRS or ham radio (many of us enjoy both.)

And of course don’t hesitate to ask questions here.

Howdy...   totally new to the world of GMRS.   Just got my new Bronco and plan to get back to some off-roading here in Colorado, hence the radio.  Did some research, talked to some folks and I ended with a license and a radio to keep in contact on the trails.   As a long time pilot I'm quite comfortable on the radios, but it's just in the plane and does its thing when I need to chat with ATC.   Getting into the real ins and outs of GMRS has caught my interest even though it came about indirectly through the off-roading world.   Purchased a Wouxun KG-935G to get started.  Got some good reviews.  Glad to be here and have the opportunity to learn from the "pros" out there.

Hey guys. Total GMRS noob here in the Placer County, CA area. Got my license and a shiny new Wouxun KG1000-G for my off-roading trips. I don't know anything about repeaters but learn really fast. Any tips are appreciated.

Hey guys, I’m Jeff. New to GMRS but I’m a ham and have worked in emergency services for the last 25 years. Talking on the radio for work the last 25 years sort of took away my desire to use a radio off duty. But with retirement coming up, I plan on spending more time in the woods and traveling, so I’d like to expand my communication potential. Looking forward to utilizing the site.

Howdy all. New to GMRS, just got that and my ham technician license a little while back (planning to bump to the general next week and AE sometime down the line). Looking forward to learning about things and getting involved in the community.

Located in AZ, southeast of Phoenix.
