Welcome to WRCK692

I'm a General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) operator based in the Omaha metro area.

Here you can find information about GMRS equipment and my projects.

I'm an occasional contributor to CHIRP — see which radios I've tested for CHIRP compatibility. I also help radio manufacturers and vendors with technical matters.
