  1. GMRS operates on the 70cm band.

    100% no permit needed to operate a GMRS radio you purchase out of you favorite big box store here in Canada - in USA yes GMRS requires a license.

    TECHNICALLY you can use a 70cm HAM radio to operate on GMRS.

    HAM radios do require a license to transmit on any frequencies.

    However, if you're planning on using a HAM radio on GMRS frequencies, that is NOT allowed, because the Canadian rules for GMRS radio equipment restricts the antenna type. This is NOT the case in the USA. HAM radios have removable antennas;

    "Antenna. In Canada, the antenna must be fixed on the radio. It cannot be removed, and it is illegal to replace or modify it. In the US, licensed users can change the antenna."

    So, Canada vs USA - different rules.

    The long winded versions;

  2. I run CB and GMRS, and we had a push to get folks switched over to GMRS. 

    GMRS is much better audio quality....think AM radio vs FM.

    The main issue is getting foks switch over, which is why I run both.

    Woah! That slant-back JK is super cool. Who owns that one? Curious how much water gets in the back with no tailgate like that ... the weight distribution has to be much better than the straight up and down spare.

    That's Chris - it's bad-*** and wide open in the back, but apparently it doesnt get cold.

  4. Got invited to an impromtu day of Wheeling. Mostly dirt roads, but we did stop at a really nice camping spot near the cliffs at Hayes Caves.

    roads were solid ice under the snow, and I immediately ended up in the first ditch lol
