I disagree. Author said he had cell coverage… that’s not ham speak not even sad ham speak. I think they’re a shill for T-Mobile.

now in Florida it would be Verizon

I'm am just getting into overlanding. I don't see any reason to get a gmrs radio as cell coverage is everywhere except some areas in mountains. Am I wrong?

You should ask NOTARUBICON on YouTube.  He loves these comments.

The op seems like nothing more than a troll to me.

When I am the only Jeep (usually with a shotgunner) out on an easy Fire Road where it's flat and wide not likely to get into trouble, I do the same, scan all main and interstitial 462 MHz channels with the radio set to Tx on Ch.16 and I have my CB also on Ch. 16. Most of the Jeep Club's I run with use Ch. 16 with a specific DPL code for Trail Comm. However, when I wheel with them I run my radio in the monitor mode for CSQ on the receive side.

Fun fact! Marine radio requires an operator to monitor and render aid on channel 16. I think channel 9 is somewhat a go-to channel as well.
