There are two primary 2-way radio services that the FCC allows use of repeaters for people like you and I.... GMRS & HAM Radio. Each are similar in that both can accomplish two primary features: (1) Talk with people using airwaves, (2) Use repeaters to send the signal further out. (3) But, ONLY GMRS can provide a 2-way radio service using a repeater and to do it WITHOUT having to pass a test f… Moreirst! For this reason, we use GMRS for communications within our local area and if needed, extended range using a repeater.
Note: Ham radio requires EACH person to have a license. Example: If you have 5 family members, each pays for their own license after they have PASSED a Test. Note: GMRS allows one license PER IMMEDIATE Family members. Example: If you have 10 immediate family members, you pay ONE price for a license that covers all 10 Immediate family members. We chose GMRS. The reasons are obvious! Listen to this description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJPzPgo5HVwLess

Just a heads up David, you don't need a comment wall and an Activity Stream. The Activity Stream is much better. It allows the poster to add emojis, photos, videos, gifs and attachments. If you need help with your profile just let me know!

Public Safety Announcement. If you see this discoloration on your vent or the neighbors vent please notify your local hvac technician and or fire department for air monitoring as soon as possible. This raises a lot of red flags and should be addressed immediately. Clearly there are some gas issues causing this vent to overheat and could easily cause carbon monoxide poisoning in the home or a house… More fire.Less
Hello JL, Hey, when looking through the categories for FORUM, I did not see: 1. Retired FF/EMT 2. CERT, Medical Corp, or any other Citizen Corp entities??
@DavidAndJanetCarcich, Hi David! Sorry I did not see this sooner. I have added Retired FF/EMT and CERT to the forum categories. The reason it wasn't listed before is because I wanted to see what peopl… Moree were interested in first. It didn't make sense to add a whole bunch of categories that people are not posting to. Have a great day and stay safe!Less
