new (to me) radya all cleaned up ^_^

(gmrs/frs)

(it was reasonably clean already I just made it cleaner, there was sticker residue and such)

My old #FRS radios still work. The Motorola Talkabout FRS radio was first sold in 1997, but I bought my pair around the year 2004. It's like #AmateurRadio except it requires no license. I gave one of our cats an opportunity to say something over the radio, but he was too busy eating.

Sending data over free radio waves with no license.

Digital modes are allowed over #FRS radio (as of 2017), without an #AmateurRadio license. Here is a test I performed, using #fldigi to decode the data.

#FRS has the advantage of being free to use without a license. I never felt compelled to get GMRS, since I already have an #AmateurRadio license I could use if I wanted more power.

So, why did you consider #GMRS worth the additional effort?

After seeing the videos of #Japanese #radio enthusiasts using low-power radios to hopscotch a message for the funz, I have the urge to do something similar. Message passing via #FRS. Looks like #Canada uses the same frequency list for their "public #UHF FM radio service" as well... And Mexico... And Brazil... and "most South American Countries."

Man, that's a lot of North-South potential space to cover with passed messages

Human-relay of messages via #lowPower UHF #walkietalkies

I have brought up ideas like this for emergencies for communal information exchange, and people often go down the "just do X" route... And, look, not everyone is getting a #hamRadio license. Not everyone is getting GMRS. EVERYONE has an #FRS radio in a drawer someplace. The infrastructure is there, people CAN self-organize

#PSA:
A good chunk of the #northeast US is about to get up to two feet of #snow over the weekend. Please make sure you know where your #furnace vents are and they stay clear.

Please be aware of symptoms of #carbonmonoxide poisoning. Keep your phones and batteries charged, and if you're more remote, have more than one way to contact #emergencyservices or other friends/family/neighbors (such as #frs or #lora #meshtastic radios) if needed.

Thank you.

#PublicServiceAnnouncements #EmergencyAnnouncements #PSA etc are actually allowed as one-way ///short/// transmissions on #FRS / #GMRS / #MURS / #CBradio

I've been thinking about getting my GMRS license for about a year - tomorrow after we get paid - I'm going to ahead a do it - of course that means I'll need to get GMRS radios too

#GMRS #HamRadio #FRS #license

Got enough rice and beans/lentils?

Enough to feed not just your house but others, too? & for how long?

In other words, what are you doing today to set yourself up to resist tomorrow?

#Resilience is an act of #Resistance

What about off-grid communications?

Like #HamRadio #FRS #LoRa #Meshtastic & encrypted messaging like #DeltaChat #Matrix & #Signal

Added a GMRS antenna to the car. It blends in great and looks good. Ignore the dirty car, I just drove 1500 miles.

I added a Midland 15 watt transceiver right before the trip and used it quite a bit. Craftsman and I used it in Denver for a couple of hours.

Next up I’m getting a radio for the house and a better one for the car. 73s de KF5MDY/WSIP210

Went looking for a #NOAA weather radio, discovered that there's a ton of options, then discovered that you can get walkie-talkies with NOAA, and that a well-reputed model is not an #FRS radio but a #GMRS radio, and then went looking for GMRS info in the local area ....

Okay, that's a rabbithole for sure.

Just had a lake trip where there were definitely a few times that radios would have been useful, but I was the only #ham in the group.

As much as the Radio-nerd in me would prefer #GMRS for flexibility, #FRS would be sufficient and easier for this sort of outing. Are there any quality FRS radios that people recommend these days?

Preferably with USB-C charging.
