I made a new blog post - The Joy of Personal #Radio: #FRS, #GMRS, #Meshtastic, and #Motorola DLR/DTR . I still love #amateurradio too, but if you need to communicate with people that aren't licensed hams, check out these options: https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10406-the-joy-of-easy-personal-radio-frs-gmrs-and-motorola-dlr-dtr
@jgoerzen The grocery store and hardware store that are the closest to our house are a little over a mile away but that shopping center is like a black hole where my cell phone is completely useless. I'm seriously considering getting a couple Motorola DLRs so I can talk to my wife while I'm at the store in case she thinks of something she needs from the store or needs to get ahold of me while I'm there in general. Do the Motorolas have an internal li-ion battery? Are there any others with similar range that take AA/AAA?
@jgoerzen Really enjoyed your blog post by the way!
@kelbot Thanks, glad it was helpful!
