Summary

This video is a commentary and rebuttal to a video that I found that claims GMRS is better than Ham Radio for disaster preparedness and Emcomm (Emergency Communications) I found a video from @RANTStrategies that claims GMRS is better than Ham Radio in Emcomm. Is it? He makes some good points, but is also wrong in some areas, so let's break this down. Today's video is sponsored by ABR Coax - whether you have a Ham Radio or GMRS Station at home or in the car, ABR Coax is an excellent choice for feedline.
