GMRS is the New CB Public 2-way Radio – The Best Alternative communication for when the SHTF
This is not a claim on frequencies or channels, just a simple way of networking on 2-way radios.
My Amazon Wish list here if u want to help
This is mainly for general conversation and a backup communication for or if SHTF, Alien Invasion, Doomsday, Whatever… lol basically for any use.
If you are in, or around the central Illinois Sangamon Springfield Area we monitor these frequencies and would love to build a regular radio community.
There is a National and Regional GMRS Net Repeater System (being built and at the moment is primarily in the North American area but will soon spread across the globe, when more tech is granted and allowed. These repeater networks make it possible for someone in Texas to talk to New York if they wanted too. Wherever a repeater is setup and linked to the National net, it can join the conversations with the rest of the community.
This really adds lots of excitement to the GMRS community because now it is possible to talk to people in long distances, and have fun like the hams do.
GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) is a fun FM 2-way Radio Service that allows you to buy a single license and allow your family to all talk on it. There is no test required and once purchased your license is good for 10 years.
Mobile Units and Base stations are allowed to use up to 50 watts and can cover a very long range depending your area and height of antenna. You can even purchase a cheap repeater to install in your neighborhood and as long as the antena(s) are high enough could cover your whole town just using handheld units.

Channel 16 GMRS is always being monitored and is best to use for calling and then u can continue conversations wherever.
My custom Special COM channels is a combination of GMRS/FRS and MURS channels with a PL Tone aka CTCSS setting of 254.1 I use with my friends and In case of Emergency Situations so we only hear each other outside the normal GMRS Traffic.
1. JWHO1 462.6750 – which is also GMRS Channel 20 using PL tone 254.1
2. JWHO2 462.7000 – which is also GMRS Channel 70 using PL tone 254.1

I encourage everyone around the world to do a radio net for your local community. This should be normalized way more the the other BS floating around these days. Communication is very important and needs to stay strong.
