Whether you're wheeling on the weekend, taking summer RV excursions, or all about that van life, GMRS radios keep you talking when cell phone service isn't possible. GMRS is easy to use and doesn't require programming, making it the perfect radio service for anyone.

First of all you need to know what GMRS is.

General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed radio service that uses channels around 462 MHz and 467 MHz for short-distance, two-way voice communications. GMRS frequencies operate in the UHF range which perform better in wooded environments, around town, or any situation where there are obstructions. GMRS radios can be handheld radios or mobile radios and repeater systems.

As they are so widely available, GMRS radios are a great solution for any application. Families and weekend warriors alike should consider GMRS for keeping in touch.

A license is required to operate GMRS radios. It's simple and relatively inexpensive to obtain the GMRS license and the license legally covers everyone in your immediate family.
