Description

This week's Prep Comms Podcast digs into the real part of GMRS—how to use it day-to-day.
No hype, no theory. Just what works.

Caleb Nelson (K4CDN / WRBR 237) walks through:

  • Teaching your family how to power on, adjust volume, and find the right channel

  • Labeling radios so anyone can grab one and talk

  • What privacy tones really do (and what they don't)

  • How GMRS repeaters extend your range — and the simple steps to use them correctly

  • Why practice matters more than equipment

You'll also hear about the new BTech GMRS-50 Pro, the PeliComms ¼-Wave Base Antenna now in stock at PrepComms.shop, and the launch of the Prep Comms Network — a private members-only group for real-world radio users who want to keep learning together, solve problems, and stay connected without the noise of social media.
