E1674: Should We Demand FCC Allow Linking of GMRS Repeaters

Are you a GMRS radio enthusiast frustrated by FCC restrictions limiting your reach? In this eye-opening video, we break down the viral Change.org petition demanding the FCC overhaul Part 95 rules to allow seamless internet linking for GMRS repeaters and radios. Created by Brian Payne, this campaign has already garnered over 3,700 signatures—join the movement to restore the "gray area" freedoms that powered family chats, rural networks, and emergency backups! Why does this matter? GMRS is the easy-entry alternative to ham radio—no license hassles, just plug-and-play power for off-grid adventures. But recent FCC crackdowns have shut down beloved linked networks, crippling wide-area coverage for disaster prep, community coordination, and everyday off-grid living. We explore the history, the shutdowns, and how new rules could supercharge public safety and redundancy—like having a backup phone line that actually works when the grid fails.
