Rulander Posted September 8 Report Share 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 Share 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. WRTT642 and LeeBo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I got into this about a year ago with a $20 POS CCR. "I'll just buy one and try it," I said to myself. I'm up to six and have no idea how this happened.

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.

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.

There is no way possible in this world that I can ever have the investment into radios that I have into firearms.

Tip10 Posted September 9 Report Share 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.
