It’s full coverage from 136-174,
and 400-480.

So it’s able to do FRS/GMRS, though
of course, not legally, as it’s not Part 95 type accepted.

But who’s going to notice or care?

Crosband repeat is easy enough to set up, but I haven’t done it much.

What’s the point, really?

Once I rcord a demo I’ll post a link.
