GMRwhat?

[UncleYoda]

Is this GMRUS thing going to ruin the service even more than the already existing misuse?  Can't even discuss it with this new guy without joining, which sounds like the Devil's plan.  I'm already stumped on how I can program my radios to block out the rule breaking repeaters and still have the frequencies open to receive others including simplex.  FCC messed up when they came up with this plan because there's apparently no way to do it.  And now this group wants to promote more junk on the air on a nationwide basis.

If you’re not interested, just ignore them. Nothing has ever been gained by whining.

I don't know what you mean and you don't know what I mean.  I'm referring to this new group some unknown just popped in and started that wants to take over the GMRS service nationwide.  It shows in the Activity feed but you can't respond without joining.  It's a group on this site but also in the real world.

Ignore it.. it's not that hard, besides, they aren't going to ruin anything. a year from now nobody will even remember them.

If you think I'm whining, take your own advice and ignore me.  I consider what they're setting up to be a threat to others who have their own local uses.  So, no, I'm not going to just ignore the threat (assuming they get more than a handful of followers).  I don't lay down and let them roll over me.  This do nothing about anything attitude has ruined America.

My fist thought was that it would fade away without ever gaining traction.  But there are plenty of joiners out there that never see the down side.  I guess, let's see if this grand poobah guy shows up for open debate.
