What is a GMRS Base Station?
A GMRS base station is a fixed or portable radio setup that provides extended two-way radio communication range from a stationary location like a home, farm, or job site. Unlike handheld walkie talkies, base stations use higher power output and external antennas to reach vehicle-mounted and handheld radios miles away. Midland's MicroMobile® mobile radios offer an easy-to-use, powerful, and durable solution.
Do I need a license to operate a GMRS radio?
A single GMRS license covers your entire household for 10 years. No exam required, just a simple FCC application.
