Personal Two-Way
Radio Communication Information on the Internet
There is a wealth of information on two
way radio communication on the Internet. There are independent experts, two way
radio companies, and just very helpful netizens who can answer your questions.
At GMRS Web Magazine we have collected a list of some of those resources so you
can make an intelligent choice about your communication needs.

Reading about the experiences of others
using the Family Radio Service can help you decide which radios to buy and how
best you can take advantage of this great family resource. John has collected a
whole lot of information about FRS that is not yet available at GMRS Web
Magazine. John's website is a must visit if you are keen on FRS. He also
maintains other web based forums, Newsgroups, and mailing lists where people
meet and discuss FRS and CB.
