- For
- Families preparing for outages and first-time radio learners
- Worth noticing
- The GMRS course outline includes an FCC application walkthrough, a family channel plan, CHIRP repeater programming, and a 25-question test.
Field notes
The course outlines trace practical steps, including choosing a radio, applying for an FCC license, planning family channels, and programming repeaters with CHIRP. The ham section names the Technician exam’s 35-question format and links to a separate practice-test site. The homepage lists full courses at $10 per month and links to previews and sample tests; those page descriptions do not independently establish how the lessons or tests work after purchase.
