GMRS Midland
Link to Part 1 https://youtu.be/AQTQptqusfc Part 2 in the micro series on GMRS. IN this video, I will show you a couple of the radios that I picked up, so you can get an idea of some of the options of the Midland series of GMRS radios. There is no programming. This isn’t as frustrating as DMR or DSTAR ham radio programming. When my license arrives, I will make part 3 to show the mobile installation and whah it sounds like on the air.
