[K3PZN-List] FRS/GMRS RADIOS

[Keith Krichinsky]

Greetings Everyone,

This evening I stumbled on a great close-out deal on FRS/GMRS radios for 
those of you who might be interested.

The Wal-Mart store in Hampstead has the Audiovox GMRS 7001-2 radios (with a 
range of up to seven miles) and built in NOAA WX receiver with WX Alert for 
only $15 per pair!  That's right $15 per pair!  In GMRS mode, these radios 
even use the same 38 CTCSS or P.L. tones that we hams regularly use.  (I do 
not know if the same deal is available at other locations.)

Personally, I picked up two sets of them (4 radios) myself.  If each of us 
bought a pair or two, we would have yet another communications option 
available to us.

The only caveat is that a FCC GMRS Radio License IS required for GMRS use on 
the upper 8 frequencies.  However, it is NOT required for use on the lower 
14 FRS frequencies.

Maybe we should pick up two for or three pairs the MCC ......  or even as 
givaways for the tailgate fest, Ham Fest, or at the Holiday party.  Or how 
about a 'special raffle' fundraiser for the MCC....The possibilities are 
endless!

Your thoughts, comments, feedback, complaints, etc. are most welcome.

Kindest regards,

Keith Krichinsky - W3MDC
