NYCPhil Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Hello. First thing, please excuse my ignorance as I am still VERY new to this hobby and limited to my Baofeng GMRS V1. I didn't have much interest in getting my tech ticket but technology like APRS and D-Star seem interesting. Are services like that limited to the ham community or are there any GMRS options? Thanks so much in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Does technology exist that will operate there, yes. However, there is a statement which only allows analog voice communication in Part 95. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Logan5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCPhil Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks for the info. I assume my choice of radio is limiting me to strictly basics. Thanks again! jwilkers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
