19 it is !! Awesome job!
Randy, we were off-roading near Hawthorne NV when a 'military' person on channel 16 came on and 'ordered' us to stop transmitting on GMRS 16 (462.5750). 'They' informed us it was a closed channel and we were not allowed on the channel. Lots of military stuff in the area, scared the poop out of us. How can this be?
I heard 19 for on road, and 16 for off road.
Makes PERFECT sense to me! Your father was right! I say the same thing all the time.. Because I like to "defuckulate" my life whenever possible. Thank you for all you do and the common sense you bring to the arena of radio.
Yep that's what I was arguing about 40 years before I was born!
ALL HAIL CHANNEL 19!!!!!!!!!
69 dude
I agree 16 and 19 work good but what to replace channel 9 with we can't use gmrs channel 9 because it's low powered
Great my birthday is soon, the reference to “back in the old days CB channel 19 was the official travel channel” makes me feel really old now. When I started trucken, yes trucken, it was CB channel 10. I have recently embraced the GMRS comms and wondered if such a thing existed. Love this guy!
ChatGPT says channel 20😂
LMAO – "Keep it Simple… Dumb Ass"! Love the vids, thanks for all the info!🤣
Ok so wht all the BULK$HIT TO J7ST SAY CH 19
I shall support! Breaker breaker 19 for a Smokey report!!!
Done – set the “A” side of all my GMRS RADIOS TO 19!
Breaker Breaker one nine, you got a copy?
Channel 19 that's perfect
Channel 19. 10-4
finally, it is decided …channel 19 it is on road. 16 off road.
ameen
CB still working great and dirt cheap…but i just installed both. Both on 19 when i'm on the road
Queen?
Is that image on the wall from Team America movie? Classic
Obviously 19 is fars superior than anys others numbers! Roger beep!!
I like 19 for GMRS ❗️
Channel 19 makes the most obvious sense because thats what has been the CB go-to for 50 years. I like it.
heck yeah, then. 19 for the roaders. Let's do it.
You got my vote!
I guess im a anomaly, im a licensed amateur technician, and i still dont know sh** interested in both Amateur Radio and GMRS.
Kq4hcu , 73😂
I hereby voluntarily attest to my assent to use GMRS 19 as the official Road Channel for all the GMRS system, and indicate my formal acceptance of the aforementioned decree. All hail Xenu and the FCCsssss…!
Hey! I love your videos. Got a quick question. I cannot find my call sign from when I registered the required registration for GMRS. Can you tell me how to look it up? I’ve tried and cannot find it.
As long as I can say " Braka Braka won nyan fo a radeo chuck"
19 works great idea randy
Good enough for me.
I used to have a CB license!!! For some reason I needed a new radio … but at that time a huge solar flare was in the near making CB useless. Short story too long, I never got a new CB and it disappeared over time. But now I'm getting a TidRadio and since the God Zenu appointed you it is now official. Channel 19 is the channel for travel. Let there be much rejoicing and drink tonight.
Now they need a gmrs radio with cb radio.
Oh mighty ornated one. Thank you for your wisdom & guidance. I will faithfully use Ch 19 as my travel channel. 😁
Channel 19 it is! Life's too short to argue, lol.
I have heard 19 or 20. Tone 141.3 to Tx. No Rx.
Channel 19 seems to be the obvious choice. No more guessing. It's perfect.
I'm glad I modified my FT 70D. I get many good fars with my RH77CA antenna.
And two years later, the official GMRS travel channel is still channel 19 and everyone knows it.
If most GMRS antennas are tuned to the middle of the GMRS band, wouldn’t channel 15 be the best choice performance-wise?
