Gmrs is Only allowed with a fixed antenna and like .5 watts.
With that said I’m not sure who would know what you were doing if you needed to use radios. Also in times of emergency situations use of any frequencies in any bands are legal.
Don't transmit on amateur radio freqs without license if you're a full-throated law abider. That said, FCC enforcement is hilariously weak and you won't be visited if you operate. There are pirate repeaters running hundreds of watts that have been up for years, untold number of complaints submitted. "We don't have resources to investigate at this time."
Just be mindful that if it gets really "run innawoods with SKS" ugly, radios can be DF'd easily. There's whole competitions dedicated to the art. Just fysa.
I think he's saying if things get so bad you have to hide out in the woods with a rifle, don't use a radio, because they can use direction finding to locate you by your transmission
Oops, pardon. Radio traffic can be pinpointed easily using direction finding antennas. Amateur operators will hold 'fox and hound' events where a hidden transmitter is hunted down by swarms of folks with all manner of directional antennae, most of it homebrew. A well coordinated team can narrow down the fox to a 20m radius with just two lines of bearing from a mile away.
To sum up, every time you key your radio is an opportunity for someone to pinpoint your location. Just something to be aware of as you operate.
I did that to all my neighbors. We are not a political banner or sign neighborhood but if they fly the American flag It’s the same thing. We all are armed and we all have each other’s cell numbers.
If you're going to operate FRS/GMRS, get an FRS/GMRS radio. The extra couple watts on a Baofeng don't give you any more distance or gain to speak of, plus they splatter all over the damn place. If you want to use a Baofeng, get your ham radio license and use it legally.
Those $30 Baofengs are the bane of existence for a lot of ops - untrained and unlicensed people TX over repeater inputs, WX stations, lock and dam channels, railroad frequencies, you name it. It's goddamn infuriating.
I just purchased Trump yard signs today. I have no security camera, but live across the street from a cop. Will install with my Trump flag on Election Day.
Talk to your neighbor, pedes. The enemy knows that together we cannot be conquered.
United we stand! MAGA
This is the way.
Unfortunately Ring is Amazon, and I’m not sure that I trust them more than China.
Thanks for that link.
Wow you're tame.

Look into MURS frequencies also
How about those MMDVM hot spots for longer ranges? Can you create your own secure/encrypted network?

Yes, and they are run by assholes who step all over licensed hams. "Be an asshole" isn't a great tool to get people on the team.
PNW as well, but my neighborhood is solid pro-Trump (rural Oregon.)
Good luck, fren.
Rural Clackamas County agrees
Just put up the flag today after seeing more than one biden yardsign. Dont give a fuck who gets mad.
This is really great to read. We do have to stick together and short wave radios are a must for patriots. See a fren, Make a fren. MAGA
really heartwarming you introduced yourself. Most of us would sit idle unfortunately.
Baofeng shouldn’t even be operating in the US, yet their shit gets through all over Amazon. Look it up.
The longer tape antennas really increased the range on ours. Mutual Defense Pact with Favored Neighbors

Thank you
We do it for fun at ham radio meets. It's called "fox hunting."
Congratulations, you just formed a militia. Invite more people, maybe train together with small arms.
Check the mirror, you are glowing.
You are what we need. I’ve seen zero trump signs for miles, but ill do that for the first one I see.

Well done, I support my team every time I meet or not meet one
That's what it's all about my Friend... When one stands up and does what's right.... Others will follow in thier steps...

Amen brother or sister!

Time to start the "Fren Autonomous Zone"!

Pre election. Lets others know its ok to like trump.
Great tip on the radio. How many people do you share the frequency with?
Just ordered one. Thanks for the link! Any suggestions on networking, frequencies etc?
That was a great idea. I might do this myself.
Sadly my neighbors have BLM and yes even one has the once thought fictional Biden 2020 sign.
Got my Trump 2020 flag up (bellow Old Glory of course) in California.... if they can't handle it, fuck em.
Pede Kindness! love to see it!
NETWORK WHILE THERES STILL TIME
I like the radio idea, but I don't know much about radios. Are there any comparable alternatives to the one you linked that are not Chinese?
you gave him your phone? that's pretty generous. good for you :D
I recommend not buying anything off of Amazon.
