We are big fans of GMRS radios and we get a ton of questions of what radio to get, why GMRS over CB or HAM, How to use GMRS radios properly, and how to get licensed. We decided to put together one video to answer as many of your GMRS questions as we could.
Big thank you for Retevis for sponsoring this video. They are having a Spring Sales during 3/18-3/24, it is a great time to get your new GMRS equipment.
