I understand! I've pushed back against GMRS for a long time and frankly didn't have a use for it...until TJ Fest. Now I get it and I will be pulling the CB out of the Jeep. I have loaner handhelds to lend out and I'll be encouraging my friends to get it. My ham radio friends will just use converted dual band radios. The antenna of choice if you do have a ham radio license is the
Comet CA-2x4SRNMO because it covers the ham radio bands, the VHF race frequencies, and the FRS/GMRS bands all in one antenna. I've been running this antenna for years at KOH, but just started using it for GMRS.
