I tried frs in the past but there was way too much chatter... To be honest I mainly just want to listen to music and be able to hear my GPS and radar detector.

Yeah, I could easily see that. What I can see it being really cool for is a group spread-out a bit off-road - WITH suitable discipline & not just chattering endlessly. I mostly just want the music/GPS/phone capability too - but the comm feature can be VERY nice, especially when doing a long ride.

Yea well I mean OUTSIDE chatter... we would hear kids with walkie talkies all the time! When we went to Cedar Point, I turned mine off once we got withing a 1/2 mile because of all the park chatter. "Billy where are you? Meet us at the Corkscrew!!!"

Ahhh. I'm guessing that if using the GMRS channels that issue would be much less common, since most of the handhelds people use are just FRS.

And Cedar Point ROCKS! Hoping to do a road-trip up there sometime this fall (during the week, after school is in session! ).
