>>2519896Sad hams love to tell people they'll get in trouble for transmitting without a license, but there is a nearly 0 chance that will happen. And even if it does all you'll get is a letter telling you to stop.
>>2517511>Are you using a radio mounted in a vehicle?My wife and I both have 50W Wouxun radios in out vehicles, and 5W handhelds. We live near Big Bend and have a repeater at 5,800' elevation that we can hit from most places in the park if the Chisos aren't in the way.
GMRS has a lower barrier to entry, hardware is less expensive, and it doesn't require a test to be legal. Also its airwaves aren't full of blubbering boomers sitting on benches under tents trying to "make contacts" with other boomers in the park next door.
