Michael, you will feel better if you climb out of your basement, go out side and enjoy some sunshine. Bring some sun screen because it sounds like you have been down there a long time and I'm sure you are very pale. Here is a pro tip to getting your life back: Find the button that shuts down the youtube app and use it.

I've been a ham for 33+ years, whoopdeedoo. I like GMRS better because it's "radio for the common man". Love your vids.

If someone is in range of one repeater #1 and i am out range of that repeater, but in range of repeater #2 which range overlaps with repeater #1, can i talk to them? Or do we both need to be in range of the same repeater?

You’re the reason I got into GMRS and I want to thank you. I love your teaching style it’s refreshing plus you always crack me up 🤣🤣

Constructive criticisms… less sarcasm and straight to the point. Thank you!

Your videos help us noobs understand how things work in the GMRS world. The best thing I like about GMRS is the talking fars via repeaters and the simplex to not disrupt those on the repeaters.

I thought for while I wanted to get my HAM license but dropped the idea when I learned you can use repeaters in GMRS. I really don’t have any interest in all the geeky stuff in the HAM world. I just want to legally use my radio. Got my GMRS license and a couple radios. Thanks for the guidance.

As a newbie to GMRS, your videos are such a breath of fresh air. As a former broadcaster/entertainer, I have to give you credit for your ability to present fantastic information with a confident angle. I have never watched one of you videos and not laughed, smiled, or learned from you. Thanks for the great content.

Vid length is good, don't listen to the haters. Keep the long awkward pauses that make your channel fun.

Just love this channel, I’m a general in the ham world and love it! (not a “sad ham”) but, GMRS is a very important part of our family farm. It’s so nice that all involved in our farm can use the repeater I put up for all the farm activities! AND I hope you all will join the GMRS family. It’s just handy and fun 24-7!!!!!

GMRS radios seem to be more convenient than handheld CBs. The CB HTs need really big battery packs or don't last long on what you can get, so you need a 12V car battery for power, but the GMRS HTs are efficient enough to use small Lithium packs. So my CB radio stays in the car. I only used my AA battery-powered HT CB radio to listen to the NOAA weather forecasts, until I got a digital emergency radio (KA600) and a cheapie FRS/GMRS. HT.

My life was pathetic before watching this video. I couldn't hold down a job. My wife had left me. My dog even pissed in my boots. But now that I am a youtube certified gmrs operator all that has changed. I just won the lottery the other night. You may have heard about that on the news. I am getting married to a super model in the morning and I don't have to have a job now because I am filthy rich. I want to thank you sir for all your hard work and dedication

You know Randy, I had to listen to a KZread prostate ad to get here but by golly, It was well worth it.

I've had FRS and am new to GRMS and most of what I've learned came from your videos

Thank you for not wasting my time or killing me with boredom. Your GMRS videos have been very helpful and humorous to boot!

This guy is awesome! An excellent teacher indeed. Much appreciated.

Great presentation and better than paying some propeller head to sit in a boring classroom for 6 weeks where all he wants to do is convince you to take the test for your HAM license.

Thanks for: the gmrs certification and saving my life from boredom😅👍🏻

Your videos are NEVER too long and you NEVER waste my time. Just my opinion, but if you wanted to know it...there it is.

Just watched your walk around the Salton Sea. Respect.

Most of us like the long videos, Randy. The longer the video, the more of your infamous wisdom we recieve. Thanks for your time.

I like your longer videos, 20 to 30 minute naps are awesome.

I dunno... I think, if I didn't understand this repeater stuff already, I might be more confused. Think you need a Carl Rove style whiteboard to illustrate some of these concepts as all the talk of channel sharing is hard to visualize without a visual aid. Also a demo of the squelch tail would've made that much clearer. But, enjoyed this vid, as I have all the others and I give you much respect for trying to help the noobs. I bet you've increased GMRS use in the US more than you know. I know you're the motivator in my case for sure.

Dude, your videos are awesome and you are a great teacher. Dont listen to the masses.

This is why I'm getting the Woxoun KG-905G radio, so it can identify tones for me.

Me being your favorite viewer enjoyed this video which cleared up a lot thank you. Now its time to go watch gunsmoke.

Hi, thank you very much not wasting my time, love it !! have a nice one everybody ! "Kirsssssssh" 😉

My friend I just started picking up your videos and I have to tell you point-blank you are a rockstar.. you've cut have very good sense of humor but you bring into the videos and you know your stuff and you imparted in a very very good way I am a retired CEO of a $300 m company.. just learning about GMR radios

As far as I'm concerned, you can make your videos as long as you want! If they're longer than I can stay awake, I can just pick up where I left off. I don't normally click the BELL icon on channels when I subscribe. Yours is the only one. :-)

Excellent information. Thanks. I was gonna spend 11 minutes for foreplay and sex, but glad I substituted this instead.

Thank you for never wasting our time nor killing us with boredom

Probably the best, most straight forward explanation for repeaters in the world. I now use the printed ham version under my wobbly table leg.

I am going to be buying a GMRS. Radio; I really appreciate the lessons in your presentations. As I am Legally blind, you assist me in learning, in a much easier manner. Thank you.

I am just beginning to learn all about GRMS stuff and plan to get a couple of radio soon. Thank you so much for taking the time to carefully explain repeaters. I’ve watched a number of your videos so far and really enjoy your channel.

Dude you're AWESOME! Forget the great information you share, you're just entertaining! Learned a lot about GMRS from you, thanks!

Love the channel, love the content!! A 20 - 30 minute video is great, and a treat when it's longer. Folks who think that's too long need to chill. ✌✌👍👍

Thank you for NOT wasting my time. :)

Thanks for explaining that. It helps to have the frequency list in front of you when listening to your explanation. So now I see it. The alignment of frequency's 15-22 and 23-30.

Hey man, thanks to all the info you provide in your channel bout GMRS and how it works i went and applied for my license the other night. Just waiting now for the FCC to assign me a callsign.

Amazing how many fars a little humor goes in helping people learn. Thanks for the great content. I wish I had a friend like you in real life.

😂😂 You are hilarious. Love the videos. Thank you. But not because of the length of video. The info and commentary makes my day. Bravo!

Thank you for entertaining me with this video, I watch em all no matter how long

Excellent description so glad I found your channel. You make this so easy to understand.

Great explanation of the difference between the two and explaining the repeater channel line up. I will refer back to this KZread as I move forward in getting the best out of GMRS usage. Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays!

I like your videos because 1) they are informative, 2) you are way funnier than the other ham radio YT channels and 3) you are not an insufferable sad ham. I never think they're too long. Some of the bits might be a little repetitive, but not a problem.

No boredom. Did not Kill me. Made me laugh hysterically. Awesome video and highly informative for a beginner.

Thanks for laying out the differences. Love the comment you inserted for like 0.25 seconds of screen time! :)

OMG!! Thank you for this video!! I am so new to all of this. Hubby and myself just want to be able to communicate if the network goes down. We are only like 5 miles apart and I was afraid I had to purchase a lot of expensive equipment. Your videos really help explain the difference between the ham vs gmrs. Thank you

Thank you for another informative video! Make the videos as long as you feel necessary to make your great entertaining and informative videos!

Thank you for your videos! A few minutes of your video clarifies hours of trying to understand user manuals!

I wish these videos were longer not shorter,These videos are intresting,informative and funny,From m6pcv 73s

Well done.

I'll chime in. I'm totally new to the GMRS community. Just got my license the other day. I've been online for a loooong time now. These computers have rewired our brains, along with things like microwave ovens, by making things available so quickly compared to how we grew up before that era. Same thing with the way people drive these days. It's not good and I try and read books as much as I can to offset the effect. I know your remarks are more or less in jest, but those are among the reasons why so many of us now have a short attention span.
