Here We Go....

Before All The Weekend Powers To Be Chime In - Simple Answer Is NO.

There Are No Currently Designated GMRS Frequencies Designated As Travel Channels.

Use The GMRS Frequencies For However You Prefer On Your Travels.......

Now That Is Too Funny.....

What "Valley Girls / Guys" Do On The West Coat, Has No Relevance On What GMRS Operators Do & Operate In The Midwest & Eastern Side Of The US.

That's Why I Started My Response Post - "Here We Go."

Yeah, it’s like one of those vampires in a late night tv show. You put it down, then a short while later it gets back up again.

In Florida we use 16 as the off road simplex channel.

19 as the road channel.

20 as the highway channel with the tone of 141.3

How do you distinguish road from highway?

A road has intersections, stop signs and stoplights.. A highway, aka a freeway, does not.

It's funny you mention this. Just today I was driving around metro Atlanta running some errands. I had my CB on 19 and my GMRS on  Channel 20 with the tone set at 141.3. For a solid 5 minutes, I was getting RX transmissions but I couldn't hear anything. It would light up green, go dark, then light up again and repeat. Over and over. It makes me wonder what was happening? I reckon someone was transmitting on 20 but with different tones? If so, who or what and at 70 mph, I was covering a lot of ground in 5 minutes for simplex to still be working. I didn't have the ability in traffic at speed to take the tones off to see if I could hear them.

That’s why I almost NEVER use RX tones on my radios.
