Get em all licensed up if you guys have expanded beyond bubble pack FRS radios.. we have to defend our public bands or else some lobbyist with unlimited money is gonna try to take em from us.. part of that is being a responsible adult and obtaining licenses to not only be legal but to keep it ours.. if we wild west GMRS and dont enforce anything, its gonna become the next CB.. and not in the good way.
then you guys can blast tons of watts on the proper channels and wont be interfering with anyone elses legitimate uses... Midland's been cranking out some great Mobile GMRS setups w/full repeater support, just bought one for xmas for my brother..
Ive had some wheelers using my repeater input frequency for simplex once way out in the mountains.. that was annoying as ********, as they stomped on my usage for a few hours while they were in range.. IMO that group were being bad citizens just like ************** who dont stay on the trail and leave litter/trash all over the place.. improperly using up public resources because they thought the rules are not applicable to them.. they hadda been using Baofengs or something like that because no off the shelf FRS radio would had even TX on that freq.
