  Good video… I demonstrate all these at our local Harvest Ready Fest. The big difference between MURS and FRS is that MURS you can get with removable antennas, which will give you a lot more distance. FRS are all small fixed antennas

  🦜Much appreciated information. As a radio operator, I have a hard time understanding why most folks don't have a handful of two ways and know how to use them🌄

  I recommend, a cheap baofeng K5PLUS for your HT, and a Anytone or Retevis 25-50W radio for mobile/base.<br><br>I use CB for low wattage/range transmissions like FRS

  We&apos;re upgrading our backpacking rigs from GMRS to Wouxun KG-Q10H + 50MHz Moonraker 12-074 that will be mounted to the backpack. It&apos;s quite a powerful combination, 50MHz travels pretty well through the hills with 4&apos; antenna. HF all has like 8&apos; and longer antennas so you&apos;ll be snagging doors and trees everywhere. Also the 50MHz antenna works for 145MHz so we can still use VHF/UHF repeaters. Yes there are way more powerful radios on the market but you will be lugging giant batteries around. For longer distance we decided on a pair of Iridium sat phones. Yes they rely on infrastructure but I think Iridium is quite robust

  Gmrs shares channels with Frs and can communicate with each other FRS 500 mW to 2 Watts Gmrs 5 watts to 50 watts. FRS licensed by rule Gmrs requires the mentioned license that covers your family under the same license for 10 years. &nbsp;My group uses both gmrs and murs depending on the situation. We use CB as well but usually when someone is being a pain on gmrs / frs.

  SHTF only needs DMR

  Do you really think that in times of SHTF the FCC is going to be worried on who is licensed. I have a 10 watt handheld ham set that I will be using only in times of emergency.
