So the one thing that I have not read on the GMRS part is that does it still work with regular CB channels in the low power channels?

Appreciate the cliff notes...

 

Ya thread has been slow the last couple of days, its all good...

Thanks

 

It does not work with CB as that is HF and in the 26.* to 27.* MHz. GMRS uses UHF (2m band)

GMRS/FRS combo channels:

CB Channels:

There are quad band handhelds that can receive HF, VHF, and UHF but thats a lot of radio. Also, CB operates on AM and HF/VHF/UHF operate on FM. There are reports of quad band radios being able to chat when in line of sight or close proximity to CB on those freqs, but since most quadband radios dont do AM, its really bleed over from the FM side that the CB folks are hearing.

You are better off getting a dual band handheld for GMRS/FRS and any future ham stuff (if you ever do it) and then getting a separate CB radio. Its my mission to get all the folks i usually wheel with off CB. That technology is old, outdated, and reception is terrible. GMRS is crystal clear and really the way to go.

 

Well if most have the GMRS already then its a no brainer, just going by what most do. I have been looking at a couple, will look at the links more later. Appreciate it.

 

Sup guyz

 

Nuttin much, got to go look at a house with the kids.

 

Id say most have no comms at all or those really crappy, low power FRS, blister pack radios. Second would be folks with CB. Third and rising real fast is the folks with GMRS radios.
