General Mobile Radio Service

But the whole process, you know what I mean? All of that, I'm not, it's like I always tell you, I know you know how to do it, but where we're at right now is, are you going to do it? You know what I mean? I know you can figure out how to make a whatever that you want to make.

create an emergency plan, you know, build out your own pace plan, learn the ham radio, learn the GMRS, get the license, all that kind of stuff.

Like I know you can learn how to, you learn how to do anything on YouTube.

The question is, are you going to do it? And what I found is no, you know what I mean? No, no, I'm not going to do it.

U.S. Ditch Doc says, and she has to have a license.

We'll go with that.

That's the right thing to say, right? GMRS for local is king.

That is true.

come through that Magic PTT.

They also have listening channels there and also some GMRS channels and some public channels where you don't require a license, etc.

But anyway, it's got a lot of activity and things of that sort.

And it is available on all platforms.

Yeah, Roger, thanks for coming back to me there.

I know it might be frowned upon on this frequency, but there is a big GMRS group around here, and they do a lot of weather spotting and reporting and – As a family, you can get that, and everyone can use it as an immediate family.

So, yeah, that's all I had to add.

Thanks for letting me back in there.

North Georgia GMRS FCC violation.

I made a video about this a couple of weeks ago and you guys had some really good comments.

We had a good discussion in my email list.

I got an email about a system in Arizona just the other day.

I might make a video about it.

There are other linked repeater systems, but I am not aware of anyone else who's doing the irresponsible and gatekeeping, I'm going to use that word, gatekeeping process that North Georgia GMRS is doing where you link all eight repeater channels together and then you try to charge people to use them.

over such a wide area you've got one channel because all eight channels are linked together and now you're trying to charge people to use them okay and in my opinion that's gatekeeping that's what that is okay you're trying to tell everyone gmrs is a general mobile radio service that's open to anyone with a license but you're telling everyone that no one can use all eight channels because you already have claimed them which you don't have the right to do and someone has to pay you to get on your repeater network that's what i'm against I'm not against necessarily linking.

Like I said in the last video that I made, I think they should just pick a channel, 21, 22, whatever, and say, okay, you want to link? Do it on this channel.
