WRXB215 Posted Wednesday at 12:59 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:59 PM @WSEM624 I would wish you luck but I know you don't need luck. You'll do just fine. BTW, it two-way-radios it's called "transmitting" not "broadcasting" </end sad-ham rant> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadcasting is when you transmit one way,not expecting a two way conversation. Some radio services (like GMRS) prohibit it except in specific instances for emergencies.
