    I'm wondering what most are using for trail comms. CB/GMRS/HAM? I need to get something, interested in hearing what people in the area are using.

    CB is probably the most common. And pretty nice to have even if you run HAM/GMRS?whatever for when you are on logging roads or just in traffic

    CB is common but a good VHF radio is waayyy more clear and easier to get setup. Better range typically too. It sounds like the FCC is going to start cracking down on the Baofeng radios so I would suggest picking one up soon. They are capable of doing the GMRS/FRS frequencies, MURS frequencies as well as across the HAM bands, though transmitting on GMRS and MURS runs afoul of FCC rules.

    I currently have this one https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0772FY...&pd_rd_r=906d60a8-a34c-11e9-b9fa-597a26e8a4d3

    but plan to also pick this one up while they are still available https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B015D9OQDE/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=AA3MGRC7F9EI2&psc=1

    I swear @JDAM said the same thing 2yrs ago...


    I finally installed a CB in my truck about a month ago or so, but I've been also looking at getting my ham license also. I use the CB for coms between rigs on trips and also monitor for any road reports being exchanged between truckers.

    Yeah, it seems like it comes up every year or two. After a little more digging it looks like the thing I saw may have come from the tinfoil hat crowd.

    https://survivalblog.com/baofeng-sales-ban-countdown-continues/

    Reading a couple other places it sounds like they are more cracking down on sales/marketing of Baofeng radios with GMRS/FRS frequencies preset on them.
