Going to get my GMRS license. After being helped here and reading a lot of the posts and topics etc I feel like it will be a nice idea. I currently use mine for my Patrol gig only.
Was also thinking about getting 1 or two more Radios for my wife and my son. Every time I bring my cell phone out skiing with them I either never hear the damn thing ring or it drops out of my pocket somehow or its just a Pain in the A$$ to get out. I'm not really sure of the viability of using them at a mountain resort without the aid of a repeater though =/, so there is that.
Is there a benefit to getting HAM license for someone like me? I'm not really super into building a home station and trying to reach people across the country, more into using quality (Is a MTS2k quality? lol) handhelds for communication.
On a side note if anyone has a couple of MTS2k H01RDD's for sale lying around I might like to buy them. I was looking into Baofengs as a alternative but I like my MTS2k so far.
As always everyone's advice is appreciated.
