GMRS #4: So Many Channels…

Most new GMRS users hit the same wall: thirty channels on the screen, all looking equal… but they're not. Some are full-power. Some are handheld-only. Some can hit repeaters. Some won't carry your voice past the yard.


In this episode, we break down GMRS the way real families actually use it:


• The three channel groups that matter • What power limits mean in the real world • Which channels give you real range • Why Channels 8–14 feel so weak • The only three channels your family needs to know • How repeaters actually work on GMRS


If you've ever wondered why GMRS feels "strong one minute, weak the next," this episode clears it up.
