For #AmateurRadio folks, is it worth getting into GMRS? I know the ultimate goal is #HamRadio because that has the highest amount of people, especially in the general and extra bands, but that will take time. Is GMRS still good or has it gone the way of the dead CB frequencies?
@NicksWorld its 35 bucks and you can talk to bubble pack radios. I think it's worth it. Also your license covers huge chunks of you family.
@fiend_unpleasant What are bubble pack radios?
@NicksWorld those FRS radios that you can buy at Walmart. They often have Spiderman or Frozen on them. They are, IIRC 1w radios, with fixed antennas.
@fiend_unpleasant I've heard of those. Kids use them.
