> I now have GMRS as well, which is one of those hidden gems I wish more people in the public at large knew about.
Given how many of the GMRS enthusiasts are just itching to turn it into the zoo that is CB, I kinda wish the public would continue not caring about it.
The one thing that GMRS has going for it in preventing this is limited range.
It's easy to be an anonymous a-hole on CB because there's a decent chance you're far away (like, perhaps even continents away) from the person you're talking to.
Unless you have a very high-up repeater and legal limit transceiver, you're unlikely to be able to talk to someone beyond your metro area in GMRS. More likely than not you'll see the person you're talking to at least once a month. This strikes "anonymity" from what I like to call the Greater RF F*kwad Theory, wherein Ordinary person + audience + anonymity = f*kwad.
