WRJD252 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hello, I am new to GMRS coming over from the CB age. My question is, is there a certain way to talk on or use the GMRS system? Is there a certain way of communicating on the "net"? I am using a hand held radio (blister pack) currently but do plan on using a base station set up or mobile set up in the future. I can only apologize in advance for my ignorance on the subject. Thank you all in advance. WRJD252 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRAK968 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 One thing to know, you are required to use your FCC call sign when using GMRS systems. Also, equally important, to reach the net you must be linked into a repeater as the link system currently does not support simplex traffic. Just some things to remember Welcome to the world of GMRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
