Intro to GMRS - Video

[marcspaz]

Hey folks, a few months back, I discussed providing a presentation on the introduction to GMRS, to just cover the basics. We held the presentation a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to share the video with everyone. 

 

Fair warning, I'm not a pro YouTuber and my collar mic dropped with a few minutes left... please be gentle. LoL

 

This is geared towards people with little to no experience. Hopefully it helps some people. 

 

The PowerPoint presentation is available for download, here...

Thank you to those who helped with content ideas.

Hey Marc great job! Should be required watching for new folks. Thanks for sharing!

[marcspaz]

@WRWE456 thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated!

We should request that it be pinned to the top so we can refer new people to it.

Hi Marc.

Nice job.  I watched it on YouTube.  I appreciated how you would move the screens in for the viewers.

Very nicely done.  

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the presentation. There were a number of points that I was completely ignorant of.

Thank you again! Vince

You did a good job on the presentation and making things easy to understand.

Hey man, that's awesome!

I like how you used those line of sight/repeater graphics.  They're a lot better than the ones I had in the prototype materials I shared...

Would you be sad if I stole/redistributed/adapted some of your work for the presentation I'm trying to set up?  You clearly are better at this than I am!

LOL... thanks for the kudos!  That's awesome.  Feel free to use what you like.  I am flattered its good enough that you want to use them.  If you want the PPT instead of the PPS, so its easier to pull material, just shoot me a message.

I haven’t watched it yet but I’m really looking forward to it. We’re at my daughter’s house and spending time with her and her husband and our grandkids.

Great presentation! The information was easy to understand and was explained very well. This is a must watch for new GMRS licensed radio operators and learners.

Marc,

 

Excellent presentation and PowerPoint.  I was starting to create a GMRS PowerPoint when I found yours.  What a great help.

Thanks, Terry

Hello Marc!

I just got my GMRS license and really didn't know too much. Your video has helped me tremendously in understanding concept. I'm still not totally understanding about repeaters but in time and research, I feel that I will be able to communicate using a repeater. I'm still confused on tones, but again, time and research will provide answers.

Thank You for the information!

[marcspaz]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad it helped. Im considering doing two dedicated videos for repeaters and tones. For the time being, feel free to search the existing threads and ask questions. There are many knowledgeable people who loved to help.
