Ham radio vs CB for local comms?
Posted by SignalCorps
Trying to decide on a local comms setup for my neighborhood group. We're about 8 households within a 2-mile radius, mostly suburban with some trees.
- Is a technician license worth it for ham, or is CB enough for this range?
- What about GMRS as a middle ground?
Looking for practical experience, not theory. What actually works in the suburbs?
