NOTES FOR GOOD COMMUNICATION
1.The GMRS-3000PK 22 channels are shared on a ‘take turns’ basis.
This means other groups may be talking on any of the channels. A
common code of ethics/courtesy is to switch to another vacant
channel and not to attempt to talk over someone who is already using
the channel you first selected.
