what will they do about Hearing impaired hunters?
I have a buddy that doesn' t hear very well so he has a head set on so we can comunicate with him! Are we illegal for doing so?

Extremely interesting conversation going on in here.

Grumpy, you say you have to basically be within voice range of each other. Unbelievable. A bunch of guys with high powered rifles that close together?????

We hunt an area about 1 or 2 kms wide by 1 km deep (the width depends on the numbers in the party). Only 5 of us have FRS' and it would be up to us to inform the others (either by walking over and informing them or by firing a pre-determined number of shots-carefully of course).

It doesn' t make sense that we' d have to be that close. I know this isn' t your opinion but what you' ve heard.

Once again, another set of rules that everyone isn' t exactly clear on.

Later,

Taxman003 I know what you mean. I too think this rule is stupid. I believe that if your in a real hunting camp (group) that should be all that is needed for party hunting. But even in saying that, you or your group would be totally responsible in making sure that you did not kill something that you can not legally tag.

In my old deer camp, one of the watches was aprox. 3 miles away from the others. It was just in a different dirrection from our camp. Moose camps and deer camps usually have hunters spread apart further than voices will travel.

But in saying all of my opinions against it, I can see why they have the rule like this. Some people will buy a tag and never go hunting. They will stay in the house while others will fill their tags for them. It is too bad how some cause trouble for the rest of us.

A friend of mine showed me a new one he bought this past week ,,, A gremlin I think , it is setup with a GPS and can locate all you hunting partners out there with out talking to them. It is the neetest thing I seen. Has a clip on it to keep in in your pocket...BT

Does anyone know why the GMRS radios (the 5 mile one) are not allowed to be sold in Canada. One the 2 mile FRS style is allowed.

GT; are you sure that you can' t buy the longer range radio if you have a license?

Dan O I have my VHF radio operators licience as do my father and brother. I tried today to purchase a pair from Cabella' s and they told me that they could not sell to me in Canada. It could be just a another time that they have just deceided not to sell to a Canadian Customers. But, I have not been able to find any of the GMRS radios in Canada, so maybe they are correct.

GT; what frequency do they operate at? I was just wondering if they operate on the same channels as the FRS radios or use other frequencies.

My Audiovox GMRS 122-2 were purchased through E-bay or check with your local Motorola dealer. Mine said he could set me up with radios if I was interested!
DanO reading the book here and some of my channels operate at a 462.5500 MHz -462.7250 MHz These are the GMRS only channels IO also have 7 shared channels and 7 FRS only channels

Dan O like littleal said there are some GMRS only chanels, some shared chanels, and some FRS only chanels. This is on the GMRS only you get 5 mile range, on the FRS only chanels you are limited to the FRS range. Now these ranges are depend on terrain.

littleal I know people have had them shipped into Canada, but I have not found them for sale in Canada. I have even asked about them and all they would say was that they do not sell them.

I was just wondering if there was any regulations on them from being sold in Canada or if Cabella' s just deceided to not sell to Canada.
