WRYC373 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Do you know other people with GMRS licenses or even FRS radios? GMRS is like a Tequila Mixer its bring your own fun. If you bought a GMRS HT hoping to make contacts or join a club/ learn the depths of radio you may be a little disappointed. I'm not going to discourage you because lots of people do use it that way and if that works for them then more the merrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRYC373 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Sorry my first reply was more negative than I meant it to be. As @WRXP381 pointed out there may be repeaters near you a quick glance seems that there are many in your area. https://mygmrs.com/repeaters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
