The ham license is not hard to get, and gives you access to a lot more users that are interested in making random contacts. There are a number of technical reasons you want the commercial gear, but I'll hold off going into that right now.īonus is, when you get your amateur license, you can program 70cm amateur radio frequencies into those radios.īut, really, if you want random contacts while on the road, get one (or both) of the following:Ī decent CB radio with an efficient antenna mounted on your vehicle.Īn amateur radio that will do the VHF 2 meter band. Personally if I was doing it, I'd do a Kenwood TK-8180 mobile and put a permanent mount UHF antenna on the roof of your car, and another one at your home. Something like a Kenwood or Icom commerical UHF radio.
Using a hand held inside the metal body/tinted windows is going to severely limit your range. You can get a hand held, but for driving use you really want an antenna outside your car. Get a commercial UHF radio that has the -required- FCC Part 95 certifications. You will be disappointed.īut, if you really want to do it, get the right gear. I'd say do not spend good money on GMRS gear if that is your intended use. I'm sure there's some, but it is infrequent. So, like others said, many GMRS users are not looking to make random contact like you'd get on CB or amateur radio. Other than that, we used one of the simplex frequencies for family use, with the CTCSS to make it so we didn't have to listen to other users, and we had our own tone on a high level repeater that gave us a lot of range. only exception was the 462/467.674 141.3Hz "traveler info/emergency" channel. The idea was that it was for family use, and not for making random contacts with people we didn't know. We, and everyone else I knew, all ran CTCSS tones on the GMRS radios specifically so we/they didn't have to listen to any other traffic. I used GMRS because I couldn't get others in the family to get their ham tickets. I was active on GMRS for many years, but I also had my amateur license.
