A GMRS Radio over a CB Radio???

Truck stops should allocate a little bit more space in the display case for GMRS. Of course space is limited and they are going to display the home run hitters.

I bet some of those Jeep owners drive CMV also. Just a thought

 

Still not impressed, did a range check, 9 miles ... that's it.

30 miles with a CB, 125 miles with one watt on 10m.

Don't ask for details, I know what I'm doing.

 

Holy crow can we settle GMRS vs CB before we bring another 'service' into the mix? Lol

 

I stand by my comments within the 1st few pages..

 

No super duper radio.

 

I have a question.... Why are the channels 1 thru 7, gmrs/frs combo frequencies, the same on different radios, but channels 8 thru 22 are different? You would think the FCC would have a standard guide of frequencies on all the channels, just like a CB radio.

A few days ago while unloading, a forklift operator gave me an frs/gmrs audiovox handheld radio. At home while I was getting familiar with the radio, I remembered that I had 2 frs/gmrs Motorola handheld radios that we use at our fireworks trailer during the 4th of July. I set both radios to channel 8, and couldn't hear anything. I set both radios to channel 7, then they worked. It appears that the frequencies on channels 1-7 are the same for both radios, but different on channels 8 and above. Not sure why they would do that. To me that's very confusing to a new frs/gmrs user.
