GMRS Two Way Radios Are Great For Outdoor Activities

January 15th, 2010     Filed Under Uncategorized  

With pride, you just climbed Mt. Livermore in West Texas and you take a breath to savor the moment, then the thought hits you that you should take a picture with your cell phone and send it to all your friends, who didn’t want to come along, saying, “Look at this view.” As you are filling in your contacts, you are thinking how jealous they will be that they had not decided to join you. The only friend that did join you was lagging way behind. You push send and then you notice, you have no service. You can’t send a message, and you can’t call your friend who is trying to catch up with you. You should have gotten a GMRS radio.

While you can’t send a picture or a text message from a GMRS radio, you could have connected with your friend who was stopping along the way to take pictures. Instead, all you could do was sit and wait because you have no idea if he was walking in your exact footprints or not. Maybe you shouldn’t have moved so fast to get to the top. Regardless, a radio that can go the distance is needed at this moment.

The GMRS radio weighs next to nothing and fits into your pocket. It can reach anyone with another radio up to 2 miles away. The only costs are the radio themselves, a license, and the batteries it will need to run on. You can get an FRS radio with no license, but you will less maximum power available and you less range of distance between radios. While the GMRS radio can be modified to extend their range past the typical 2 miles, the FRS cannot be modified legally. The license you purchase is a 5 year renewable one and the reason behind it is to keep the operator responsible for using the device correctly, either for recreational activities or just for family advantages.

There are also several two way radio accessories available. You can get battery chargers, carrying cases, and headsets to name a few.

There are certainly advantages to having one of these radios handy. A GMRS radio is the handheld radio of choice because it has greater range and greater power. It will not let you down when needed.
