Can a GMRS station talk to a FRS

Speaking of how smart someone is...

 

A neutron walks into a bar and says "Bartender... I'll have a beer." The bartender says "Sure" and slides him a beer.  The neutron said "Thanks! What do I owe you?", and the bartender replied "For you? No charge!"

However, the GMRS regulations specify an ERP of 0.5W -- not a radio output of 0.5W (1-7, the original GMRS interstitials, are also now specified in ERP). That means that use of a "gain antenna" (gain over dipole, or more than 2.1dBi) is going to result in an ERP greater than the regulations allow. If you use an antenna with 3dBd gain, the radio output will have to be 0.25W to be "legal".

I enjoyed this reminder.
We don’t all need to be quite so ready to find fault with each other even when we’ve gotten on each other’s nerves in the past. 

And I really appreciate Marc’s humor!
