This is the leadership GRMS users needed. I've been trying to figure out how to organize RV'ers to use a standard GMRS/FRS channel for road travel for some time. I full-time RV and we're always on the road. I've wanted a way to communicate with other RV'ers or folks in traffic during our travels for a long time. I'm going to implement this as a standard around my circle of fellow RV'ers and ask my RV YT friends to spread the word.

[@dhard03]

Totally agree, the same boat, an RV snow-bird hear. I started a post on one of those GMRS sites and got totally disgusted. I have learned a lot on those sites reading/learning, but will not post for fear of a sad-ham infection.

If you run a flag with your family name at the site number, like a lot of folks do, you could add the GRMS channel and your call sign to that. It'll be a conversation starter for sure

So simple it's scary. I'm glad that's solved. -- My only variation on this is that I transmit CTCSS 141.3. The reason being is that if anyone is monitoring that channel, but using 'travel tone' they'll still hear me. They'll also hear me if they're NOT using receive tone. I don't use CTCSS/DCS on my receive side, just on TX.

On my CB I hear all kinds of people, CB will never die or be replaced.

Is making a comment with a link not allowed? I posted a link to an FCC document that should have stuff about GMRS and "Line A" but was conspicuous in it's lack of GMRS and I was hoping you might be able to clarify the whole "Line A" thing for me. What little info I can find about this "Line A" seems outdated and vague AF at best. But... that comment was deleted (or maybe I didn't actually post it, I was tired AF when I was writing it lol) so is it okay to post a link here? If it's not okay to post links here, do you have an alternate way I could show it to you? It's just an FFC chart of frequencies that are restricted near the Canadian border that has nothing at all in the GMRS range. It makes me wonder if this "Line A" stuff has changed to no longer include GMRS... but read somewhere that "Line A" is still listed directly on the GMRS license itself. Is that true? I don't have my license yet so I can't check. Waiting for them to ACTUALLY drop the price lol. If anyone wants to see the list of frequencies I'm talking about, it's the fcc gov site slash canadian-agreements-frequency and you might be interested to see that of the listed frequency ranges, it stops at 459 MHz and picks up again at 470 MHz. EDIT: The one and only video I have been able to find that makes mention of any of this mentions the GMRS License bit and that it only applies to channels 19 and 21. Yet those frequencies are still not on that FCC document that I mentioned above for some reason. I know some group tried (and largely failed I think) to make FRS channel 20 (but with codes for some reason) the unofficial FRS travel channel... you used the logic of "4x4" to justify channel 16 for off-road use... maybe use similar logic and suggest GMRS channel 20 for the main road channel as being "1 better/higher than CB" or maybe suggest a power setting? I think 19 and 21 can be used north of Line A if it's no more than 5W, but again I'm not sure b/c there is so little info that I've been able to find so far.

The purpose of a "road" channel or "Highway" channel is for when you're driving somewhere and want to get road conditions, make friends, see who else is driving, etc, everyone has a common channel to be on..

… channel 19 is the official trucker channel… however…. I-5 has it’s own channel… not sure why…

You're saving radio for me.

You are not the Queen of GMRS, LOL You are the King, hope others have caught this, 675 well i think you are right. Also wonder if the guys and gals remember they had to get a CB license back in the day just to talk on CB Radio. Yes I'm over 60.

Okay. Glad that's all settled. Thanks for posting.

[@bradradb]

Great idea!!!

[@dmwil1]

Amen. Channel 19 on-road, channel 16 off-road. That settles it. Thanks, Randy!

GMRS will NEVER be able to replace CB fully , it is way to limited, no skips , no sideband, only 22 channel's and it's licensed and it needs repeaters as it's simplex range is way too limited way more then CB, what it WILl replace effectively is cell phones becuase when cell service goes down cell phones die , GMRS/FRS will be the best alternative. for short range and local communications
