Love it.
So, some questions I could probably google. Could I buy all the stuff and just not transmit? Or do you need licensing to power on?

I honestly dont know and looking for clarification lol
Was going to get the bigger tri-band antenna and a programming cable as wellOh one more thing BUY THE FUCKING PROGRAMMING CABLE. Almost all radios can be programmed without one but they suck to do such. These are slightly worse than the Kenwood I had for a HT last time.
Just listening for now and will be getting licensed eventually. It's more for if SHTF, at that point i don't think license police are comingLord Tin Foilhat what were you going to do for a license, or do you already have one? I might have missed this part.
Best way to get them right now might be a bulk group buyKeep the group in the loop so we can piggyback off all your legwork.
what is GMRS?Lord Tin Foilhat what were you going to do for a license, or do you already have one? I might have missed this part.
hm, 70$ for 10 years for the family.GMRS is something where you pay $70/year for a family license and there's no test. It's pretty cool you get up to 50W (a common mobile power rating) as well as the ability to have repeaters and good antennas. Some of the frequencies overlap with FRS.
Something else I probably shouldn't say is that a radio like that UV-5X3 will actually work on FRS Frequencies as well.
If you're not licensed/don't have a call sign someone will take notice esp if you are on a repeater. In the boonies with lower power doubtful.
yeah works great with cell data signal. we have use those in the past.Looks like you won't need a radio, just get the app:
Insurrectionists Reportedly Used Walkie-Talkie App Zello To Storm the Capitol
Members of a violent and deadly mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 reportedly communicated with each other through the walkie-talkie app Zellogizmodo.com
"analog"yeah works great with cell data signal. we have use those in the past.
I am looking at analog means of communication.
I wandered down the r/preppers wormhole last night and caught a mild interest in this too. Good timing. Same reason as Lord Tin Foilhat SHTF and general curiosity of listening in.
