LiFePO4 batteries are now on sale for 50% off ($55 for the 20AH). The 20AH battery is capable of delivering 40 amps but is designed for 20amp continuous use.

Boston Area GMRS Club

The Boston Area GMRS Club is pleased to announce it is open for business. The club is a not-for-profit 501c(3) corporation and focuses on two main areas 1) technology, operator proficiency, and emergency communications education and 2) building a GMRS infrastructure to aid the government in their emergency communications efforts. Unlike other types of clubs, membership is open to licensees and their families. We encourage families to join the effort of learning to be better operators and contributing to the art of emergency communications.

Membership is set at $25 per year and is fully tax deductable. We also encourage both members and interested parties to contribute to the repeater fund. In line with FCC rules, repeaters are operated by individuals who hold a GMRS license. The club operates under part 95E sections on individual ownership and leasing of repeater equipment. The club members collaborate in the funding and maintenance of repeater sites.

The main focus of any club is to have fun. The BA GMRS Club activities are meant to bring indiviudals and families together.

Membership fees and donations can be made online using our club website www.bagmrsclub.org. Just click the join button.

By-laws for the club are available upon request.
