Howdy From Texas

[WSJW650]

A planned road trip to Big Bend this fall led me down the GMRS path of enlightenment.  I am now the proud owner of a Baofeng AR-5RM (and an AR-771C GMRS antenna)  along with a Radioddity DG20-G (along with a Midland MXTA26 with a magnet mount).  Already found a few active GMRS channels on the Baofeng when outdoors......need to take the DG20-G with the Midland MXTA26 outside to test it.

Thanks to many on this site for the informative posts.

Safe travels to all.

Howdy. Also from Texas. Been wanting to do Big Bend National and Big Bend Ranch State parks myself. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks…will do. 
 

Stopping by Devil’s River and Seminole Canyon on the way.  Looking forward to it.

Welcome! Sounds like a nice collection of gear to start with, for sure. Its always fun to scan the channels and see what i hear when im traveling. Its always good to have some kind of radio on a common/popular radio service when you are someplace where cell service is spotty or non-existent, too.

Nice! I travel to Texas quite a bit. Maybe we'll encounter one another on the road.

Welcome!

We were in Big Bend National a few years ago. Great place.
