WSAD366 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I’m new. Just saying hi. I have 2 Tidradio GMRS H8s. Seem like pretty solid radios. I also just got a mobile station setup. Got it for a base station in the house. A Wouxen KG-1000G. Have an Ed Fong GMRS antenna mounted to a telescopic fiberglass pole clearing the peak of my house. Mainly wanted backup comms. And take the handhelds for hiking. Adamdaj, WRUU653 and Sshannon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you consider GMRS as a hobby, but there are some folks that don't really consider GMRS or CBRS as hobbies, not like the Amateur Radio Service. Of course, everyone has their own opinion, when Radio Communication Services for non-commercial or public safety use. A few HAMs might wonder anyone would get into CB or GMRS. I say, choose what comfortable and go from there. Some folks may just want to rag chew with Family and Friends. Then again, others enjoy talking Cross Country DX or Overseas DX. Each service offers something. Welcome to Wonderful World of Radio Communication! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
