Get helpful tips and tutorials about HAM RADIO and GMRS. Ham radio (also known as Amateur Radio) and GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) can have some similarities. Ham radio allows more experimentation, more modes and more frequencies of operation than GMRS. Ham radio does require (in the USA) an FCC test and license to operate. By international treaty, every country has their own government agency to regulate ham radio. GMRS operates only in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band, between 462 - 467 Mhz, and requires only a license fee paid to the FCC to obtain a license to operate. Depending on the model of Ham radio, the new generation of digital radios can operate via modes that communicate world-wide, such as from a hand held radio that links to radio networks globally. There are many similarities with HAM and GMRS radios that operate in the UHF bands. We will be exploring various aspects of both. A special thanks to my friend Jimmy G for encouraging the channel name.
