That's nice to hear, then in five years, when he's already 14, he'll certainly be active on all amateur bands as well.Not that I am aware of, but I just spin the dial & skip right over them since I have nothing I need to say to anyone there & I have nothing I need to hear from anyone there. If I want to speak with or hear a child on the radio, I will speak with my Grandson on FRS & at least he will make some sense & just talk not make unneeded & unwanted noises & not be screaming & talking to himself. He is being raised properly & knows that a transceiver is for communications & NOT playing childish games. He is more grown up than 99.9% of those & he is only 9 years young.
