Rulander Posted September 8 Report Posted September 8 Hello everyone. Just wanted to come here and say hello from Hood County Texas. I'm just getting started in this hobby. So far, I only have 3 HT's. I will be looking to get a mobile unit when I figure out which one I want. Anyways, I wanted to say thanks in advance for any future help I may need to advance my knowledge. And thanks to the ones here that are on YouTube. You have already helped me out tons!!

Rulander Posted September 8 Author Report Posted September 8 Thanks for the welcome guys. I promise to not ask goofy questions like "what's the best radio", or "how far will my radio work". I'm not that big of a newb. LeeBo and WRTT642 2 Quote

I'm kind of a "tech nerd", so this is right up my alley. I feel like this rabbit hole is very deep, and I've already fallen in. WRZK593 1 Quote

"I'll just buy one and try it," I said to myself. I'm up to six and have no idea how this happened. JBRPong, WRTT642, Raybestos and 4 others 1 6 Quote

The good thing, so far, about gmrs is that I can buy a "good" radio for a lot less that a good firearm or R/C car. WRTT642, WRZK593 and JBRPong 3 Quote

He said, "Well, I was going quail hunting and my 12 and 20 gauge Berettas were too much, so I bought the 28 gauge." Those run ~$2,500 each -- and the Silver Pigeon is considered an entry level Beretta shotgun. I have a $250 Winchester pump I bought on sale. I like radios. JBRPong and Raybestos 2 Quote

There is no way possible in this world that I can ever have the investment into radios that I have into firearms. Zero, none WRZK593 and GreggInFL 2 Quote
Tip10 Posted September 9 Report Posted September 9 10-4 on that. There is no way possible in this world that I can ever have the investment into radios that I have into firearms. Zero, none I’ll never say never but I will say radios are WAY behind at this point….Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Quote
