But which frequency band is right for you: GMRS or Business Band?
How to decide between a GMRS OR Business Band radio
Before purchasing a radio, ensure you know what type of radio your friends, club, riding group, etc., are currently using. If you want to talk to them you need to be on the same band of radio. If your group is just getting started, and you aren’t racing, we highly recommend using GMRS!
