Most new GMRS users hit the same wall: thirty channels on the screen, all looking equal… but they're not.
Some are full-power.
Some are handheld-only.
Some can hit repeaters.
Some won't carry your voice past the yard.

In this episode, we break down GMRS the way real families actually use it:

• The three channel groups that matter
• What power limits mean in the real world
• Which channels give you real range
• Why Channels 8–14 feel so weak
• The only three channels your family needs to know
• How repeaters actually work on GMRS

If you've ever wondered why GMRS feels "strong one minute, weak the next," this episode clears it up.
