Book excerpt: Many users of wireless devices and services spend money on a regular basis to contact colleagues, friends, or family members who are close by, such as in a warehouse or on a job site, at the mall, or out hiking or camping. Why spend the money when you can contact them for free? Canada's General Mobile Radio Service, or GMRS, uses small UHF two-way radios for short-range wireless communications that cost nothing to the user. Without monthly service, usage, or licencing fees, GMRS is a perfect addition or substitute for other costly wireless services. For businesses, GMRS is perfect for short-range communications on a job site, in and around a warehouse or office building, and for all types of hospitality and retail applications. Personal safety, security operations, customer service, and management/employee intercommunication are just some of the uses corporations, industries, and businesses will find useful from GMRS radios. For personal use, GMRS keeps all members of a group in communications with each other. Shopping in a mall, camping, fishing, hiking, at a carnival or local event, traveling in two more vehicles, or in and around the house, are just a few of the extensive applications you will discover with GMRS radios. GMRS is also the perfect primary or backup radio communications system for public service, search and rescue, security, intelligence, and military use. With twenty-two available channels and two watts of output power, GMRS radios are far less expensive than commercial handheld radio units of equal specifications. And GMRS gives personal users the freedom to access commercial-quality radio communications for a fraction of the price. All you pay for are the radios. No operating, licencing, or usage fees apply. Communications range over open water is around 8-10km, with reduced range in rural or urban settings. Overall communications range in a warehouse or building setting can cover approximately two hundred thousand square feet, or about twenty floors of a building. The Complete Guide to Canada's General Mobile Radio Service shows you how to choose the right radio for your particular applications, where to by the radios, radio specifications, gives you great examples of some of the uses of GMRS, and even has a glossary of GMRS terms. If you want or need short-range wireless communications without the costs of current wireless services and devices, GMRS could be the perfect solution. And The Complete Guide to Canada's General Mobile Radio Service is the only reference book that covers everything you need to know to get most out of the service and the radios.
