What is a GMRS Radio?
A GMRS radio system is a two-way radio communication network that operates on frequencies designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It is perfect for individuals, families or groups who need a reliable means of communication over a broader range than traditional walkie-talkies. GMRS radios offer clearer and stronger signals, making them ideal for outdoor activities, businesses, or any scenario requiring reliable long-range communication.
GMRS radios are easy to use, with most models offering features such as multiple channels, repeater codes, and weather alerts. These radios typically have a range 10 to 25 miles and further when using a repeater system, allowing you to stay connected even in remote areas. Coverage in Tuolumne County is extensive when using one of the two GMRS repeaters available to licensed operators.

Unlike walkie-talkies, which operate on a limited range, GMRS radio systems have a more extended reach, ensuring that you can communicate with your group, no matter how far apart you may be.
