    What is GMRS? And should you stay away from it?

    This is the radiotelephony service in the UHF band that predates cellular, right? Or as I recall, it combined point-to-point with ability to contact a "mobile operator" to place a call to a phone #. We used it on the farm in the 80s.

    The best streaming device for seniors?
