Hi everyone... I'm posting this, to see if there might be any interest. Some club members have spoken to me about these radios. These radios are on the UHF band, which is the same as some businesses, Police, Fire Departments, etc. Because they are FM and not AM (like a CB), there is no squelch control. I know that some clubs use them instead of CB's because they are also capable of much longer range. They are available in both mobile and handheld models, which are available in pairs. I know some members already have these radios and I have a couple of handheld units. Now i'm not suggesting the club or the members change over to GMRS-FRS radios, but they might be a good backup in case their CB goes down.
