    GMRS resurgence in the making ???

    Tom what I can tell GMRS is mostly dead here in Chicago. There are a couple of repeaters but I hardly hear anyone using it. I have a ham friend that had a GRMS repeated up but he brought it down a couple of years ago. I think the appeal of GMRS is a lot more that just repeater use, its the...
