Love to have her ride along.
I'll enjoy her company and she can bring me up-to-date on her car.

I can meet you guys at Advance Auto on Buford Drive, just before Hwy 316.  Probably should leave there by at least 8.  Could pick up on Pat & Linda at some point going down Scenic Hwy. 124.

Just got a new set of radios for Christmas and while reading up on operation, found out that to operate on Channel 7, we should have an FCC license.  Channels 1-7and 15-22.  That leaves us 8-14 and anything above that.  It warns of possible severe penalties if caught operating without an FCC license and call sign. 

I suggest we try channel 8 as we travel to the meeting place to see how it works. 

Roger, are you talking about the Arby's inside the park? 

Anyone planning to use the club car?  I'll know tomorrow if the yellow 86 will be roadworthy.  (alignment)

According to FCC Rules, if the device is a GMRS/FRS device, you can only operate without a license on channels 8-14. If the device is FRS only, you can operate on all channels without a license. The GMRS devices operate on higher power on channels 1-7, and that's why you need a license for those channels.
Some devices have a power output setting, and if you set them on lower output power, you can use channel 7 without a license.

Duchess, when do y'all expect to leave home? I'll pick up Shanine at that time.

Charlie, I believe that I can have you operate under my license. That means if you use any bad language or transmit at a power greater than 5 watts on FRS frequencies, I get charged with the violation. I'll give you my ID when I see you.

I don't know anything about any Arby's in or near Stone Mtn. yet. If it was inside the park we'd have to pay admission wouldn't we. Plus, if we come within site of that artificial snow hill I may lose my composure. I'll Google the Arby's.

TopNotch is right. If those are GMRS you'll need a license. Anything over 500 milliwatts on any channel is illegal without a license. Channel 7 is okay according to the frequency table if using no more than 500 milliwatts:
GMRS Repeater Output / Simplex (7) 462.700  462.7125 FRS Ch 7 (GMRS 5 w. allowed) 
GMRS Repeater Output / Simplex (8) 462.725

My radios are the GMRS high powered ones.  I don't see anything on them to reduce power.

Roger,
would you mind having Shanine as your co-pilot?

I think Rockin'Roger's taking some hot chick he knows.  So, if his passenger seat is filled, FieroFool and I both have seats open.

Shhhh! You weren't supposed to tell anyone.

Everyone,
Kindly disregard Fiero GTBs last post here. He is mistaken.

ps: You're working your way to a lump of coal for next year pretty early aren't you?

I guess these days, if a man shows up with his own wife, it's a scandal!

So, are we going to meet up and drive down together?  If we are, where and when are we meeting and who's driving down together?

Advance on Buford Drive OK?  Pat, are you joining us somewhere on Scenic Hwy or driving down on your own?  Chaz, how about you and Jen?
