GMRS or Business Band: Which Radio Is Right For You?

In the world of offroad communications, there are two big players in the frequency band game: GMRS and Business Band. We offer complete communication kits with either a GMRS or Business Band radio that include everything you need to start talking. Our vehicle-specific dash mount for the radio & intercom sets our kits apart, offering a clean, finished looked to your comms install. 

But which frequency band is right for you and your friends: GMRS or Business Band?

GMRS

General Mobile Radio Service is a great solution for recreational communications! GMRS is easy to use and walkie-talkie compatible, allowing you to talk to any GMRS and FRS handheld radio on the market. Also, GMRS band radio frequencies perform exceptionally well in heavily wooded areas, making them great for adventures in any environment with obstructions; including canyons, mountains, and forests.

Examples of Use:

  • UTV Recreation
  • Overland
  • Jeep
  • Hiking & Adventure
  • Hunting

GMRS is popular for recreational and general public use across the United States, and is especially prevalent in the Mid-West and Southeastern states.
