General Mobile Radio Services (GMRS). In this video I share the top 5 things I think you should know about GMRS.

As an amateur radio and GMRS licensee, I have a passion for using various radio gear on my adventures. There seems to be a healthy appetite for learning more about available radio services, so this is my attempt to help demystify one of them, and perhaps inspire folks to learn more and join the hobby.

Correction at 1:50 CB frequencies are in the upper HF band (330 MHz), not lower VHF band.
