I need to do a bit more research in to this before I post an actual channel, but suffice to say there's more to this than meets the eye. Some channels have twice the power others do - which is mandated by the FCC. And some of the cheapy radios do not have all channels - which is a plus for us as we won't want to use one of the channels they have etc.

I do need to know though, who has GMRS radios as opposed to FRS radios? This was a major pain in the arse last year and most of us with GMRS had no issues at all pretty much anywhere on the Playa. The FRS radios were a pretty dismal failure accross the Playa.

Ideally we'll all have GMRS radios this year, I know a fair contingent re-invested in new GMRS compatible radios last year and we were all thankful. If you have the cash, and I know a lot of us do not, then the Combo Garmin GPS/GMRS worked really well for me last year, dust storms and white-outs just didn't matter anymore :) It is very heavy and bulky though unfortunately :(
