GMRS is a very good option for folks who are not ready to do the licensing exam for ham radio. You can get a GMRS license with no test and the license is good for your entire immediate family. It is often the “gateway drug” to the harder more addictive ham radio licenses.

Check this out tonight.
This is a short example of why we need to open source all of the ham radio things.
This is why I am excited for open source ham radio projects like M17.
WPSD is also very interesting for hotspots.
Building your own MMDVM hotspot is a great ham radio project.
We should get some eyes on the GitHub too.
