In 2020, Midland Radio became a sponsor of Jeep Jamboree.
As of 2021, Jeep Jamboree will require all participants to have a FRS/GMRS radio in their vehicles, a product that Midland Radio just happens to manufacture.
Personally, I think it's crappy and a bad idea. What's to stop other sponsors from raising an eyebrow and wanting their products required for trail rides? Jamborees are expensive as it is.
I honestly hope I'm wrong. I've been to several Jamborees. I've had a good time at all of them.
However, this move smells a little ... off.
