- Back into GMRS with the most requested part 3, I have some new radios to show and antennas to pair with them. The GMRS linking project has increased the distance of GMRS by many miles, states away in fact. Keep watching for the future videos to follow this week.

CB RADIO...if you are old enough to remember we had to register and pay for a license in the 1970s . $5.00 for CB RADIO
Thank you! Your content rocks. You have helped me learn a bunch about ham radio and I was a little ashamed to tell people I had a GMRS license too. Thanks for everything you do!
Thanks for posting the link to The GMRS Linked Network.
I've been a ham for 20 years now. I thought about GMRS but where I live, all the repeaters are member only and the owners will not accept requests to use them, are off line etc. So, i'll have to stick with what I have available to me. P.S I feel the same, "KEEP IT RF" There is no challenge in using network stuff like Zello, Echolink. I studied for a reason and enjoy using my brain!
Not everyone has the time for ham and are specifically looking for a practical communications option that is simple.
Midland is to thank for bringing mobiles to the market and promoting GMRS to the 4x4 crowd about 4 years ago. There was a couple of handhelds that showed up; Btech and Wouxun. Then early last year radio in general took off followed by the election chaos fueling the fire. A couple of radio retailers saw the demand and have brought turn-key radios to the market and its rolling along.
Part 95 radios have been around for years. Midland did not come up with it even though they did have better radio several years earlier certified for FCC Part 95. The main thing I always heard for years about anyone using it was they couldn't justify the cost .
People refused to get licensed. GMRS is nothing new and has been around for many years but noone wanted to invest in it or see what it was about. I have no clue why the sudden interest but at least people are beginning to get licensed and use it.
CB was my gateway drug back in the late 80s then I got licensed (Ham) in '91. GMRS is a VERY capable service and am actually coming up on a GMRS license renewal already (have the 5-yr until we renew).
Pretty nice radio…. I love to have one, but I got a Motorola because I got ham ticket so I use the radio for both 😉
Houston TexasGMRS club represent!!! WRJK797.
Looking into GMRS and living in Houston. Do you have a link or any info on this club?
@@chrissimonton9939 TexasGMRS.net listen to the local link, we are having a net tonight at 6pm. Also, look up our Facebook page!
TexasGMRS in the house!
Great job Eric. I'm looking forward to getting on and hope 675 simplex is used as a "road travel" channel. CB is great, but this is a big improvement especially with the rf noise in todays vehicles and environment.
Good to finally see a part three.
Eric, good video. Sorry to hear you had to sell most of your radios. I am sure you had a good reason why. Keep up the good work!
I got my GMRS license back in 2018 and no one was talking. In the last few years, GMRS has taken off.
I like the fact all you to do for a GMRS license is signup and pay the fee. Then couple days later you will have your GMRS call sign and you can start talking legally on GMRS frequencies.
I just wish more people would get their GMRS license. In my state there is only like 2800 people with a active GMRS license. While in my state there is like 6500 people that has a active HAM amateur license.
I’m vacationing in key west. I just couldn’t talk myself into bringing anything more than a handheld. Little windy but we’re enjoying Florida. There is a repeater here I can hit.
I am a ham for fun and engineering education. I use GMRS when I want easy communications.
Hey Eric you can also go on zello on your phone and talk all over the states look into it you just down load it on your phone and once you put it on your phone the. Type in gmrs network
I like to stick to exclusive rf only
The GMRS network is well organized and I do think majority of he small repeaters operates on solar power.
If only we had gmrs radios in Australia 🇦🇺 73 Tom VK3FTOM
AU has a great UHF citizens band that repeaters can operate on, I've listened to some radio traffic via the internet, very interesting
@@davidbrock4104 The UHF cb he’s a good service but I think America’s idea of GMRS it’s better because you were allowed 50w and repeaters aren’t open to abuse as much because you have to have a license and a callsign even though there are regulations on them uhf cb in Australia they don’t get in forced At least if you pay for all License and you complain you have a A foot to stand on are you a Uhf CB system is class license which means anybody can buy the radio no questions asked and get on air I understand that in this us anybody can buy a GMRS radio but you need to transmit unlike here on uhf cb 73 Tom VK3FTOM
Ive been watching for 1 1/2 years now . I have my ham and my gmrs license . I'm a little confused , if this is part 3 then where is 1 and 2. I can't find them . Maybe I 'm just slow to get it .
I found if you go to his page, select videos and search GMRS you can find parts 1 but no 2.
@@michaelhoffman8763 Yes you can, they're right next to one another in the Uploads tab. Scroll to January 2020 or 2019 I forget.
They just came out with the 905 also.
Links to the following videos? Ya leaving us hanging bro
How do you get on the links? Can you find out what the Zello name is?
Link for part two??
Is the Rfinder radio type accepted part 95 for gmrs use?
Great content. Hope to chat with you one day. I am currently working towards my Technician license.

I do not believe in serious nets for GMRS nor do I like the idea of linking repeaters. We have ham for that. GMRS is an extension of the family radio service and is meant to be non-formal for personal use only. I like not having to use ham codes and jargon on GMRS and don't want it spoiled with that. Many people want to have good local coverage in their town and I believe linking is going to ruin that. There are already too few repeater channels and linking will needlessly tie them up even further.
Dumb question but I am new to gmrs and radio altogether. But can someone explain linking and how I would be able to talk on a linked system.
I have a GMRS repeater. I would like to link it to other similar units. What interface is in common use and what is the computer link. Who is the contact for this link. I can hear the Chicago area linked repeaters from MI bit an unable to talk in to them as I do not have the correct PL tone. What is the tone and who is the contact for this link?? Seems no one provides any info for these links.
"Professional" 🤣🤣🤣
Where did you find the Wouxon KG-805G
I've heard that "linking" GMRS repeaters together is 100% illegal. Is that true?
Can the wouxun work with hh9000 quad band antenna
Eric, hope you are doing well. Why not just get the MARs Mod? I have the FT-3D and FTM-400 both Mod'd but I also do AFMARS. With the Mod you have access to the GMRS Channels. No need for additional equipment.
It’s wax on like was on wax off Karate kid 🤣
There is one problem while ham radio users can use a smartphone to connect to the ham radio system gmrs users no matter how much I search cannot use on their cell phone to communicate can anybody think of maybe creating an app for gmrs I am if anybody wants to beat me to the punch no problem enjoy it but I'm looking forward to seeing a GMO a gmrs app that will connect an old gmrs frequencies that the same phone you use for Zello walkie-talkie the same phone to be able to be used for gmrs anybody wants to beat me to the punch be my guest do it I challenge you cuz I can't find any of it for gmrs never ham radio users yeah the million apps out there but for gmrs to any gmrs radio that you wear on your belt on a axle walkie-talkie or a handy talky not a cell phone anybody knows how to connect that through Zillow let me know again is gmrs specifically God bless you all
I pronounce it WowKZoon because I know it irritates them.
What does gmrs do?
General Mobile Radio Service , mobile FM UHF short distance radio service two way communication that operates near the 462 and 467 MHz band, 30 channels and it’s authorized by FCC USC 47 CFR Part 95. Linking networks are bring it to the map more and more lately.
Why get gmrs my cell phone works fine.
