Caleb Nelson (K4CDN / WRBR 237) walks through:
Teaching your family how to power on, adjust volume, and find the right channel
Labeling radios so anyone can grab one and talk
What privacy tones really do (and what they don’t)
How GMRS repeaters extend your range — and the simple steps to use them correctly
Why practice matters more than equipment
You’ll also hear about the new BTech GMRS-50 Pro, the PeliComms ¼-Wave Base Antenna now in stock at PrepComms.shop, and the launch of the Prep Comms Network — a private members-only group for real-world radio users who want to keep learning together, solve problems, and stay connected without the noise of social media.
