'Southeast OH / Mid-OH Valley GMRS/FRS' is a radio community established to communicate among the neighborhoods of Southeast Ohio and the Mid-Ohio Valley via GMRS and Family Radio Service (FRS) radios. Communications may include general chat, radio checks, wellness checks, safety checks, and family and emergency communications. Use of FRS radios does not require a license, but is limited in coverage.
Full power 'GMRS' does require a $35.00 License, which is good for 10 years and covers your entire immediate family. No test is required for this license. Handheld GMRS radios are reasonable in cost, and can transmit radio-to-radio or through an extended range GMRS repeater.
Anyone interested in FRS or GMRS is invited to join our discussion group on Nextdoor.com, a social media app that connects neighbors, businesses, and public agencies in a neighborhood.
