Description

Most families buy GMRS radios… then realize no one actually knows how to use them when the phones go quiet.
This episode fixes that.

Today we walk through the simple, practical skills every household needs to use GMRS with confidence:

• The 3-button rule
• How to choose the right channel group without a chart
• How to know if you're hitting a repeater
• What to do when you hear nothing
• The 10-second teaching script for non-technical adults
• A weekly household radio routine that actually works

No programming. No deep tech. Just clear steps any family can follow.
