Beginner Radio Class (GMRS/FRS/HAM)

Learn basic radio communications skills with a focus on the General Mobile Radio Service, Family Radio Service and Ham Radio (GMRS/FRS/HAM). A NO TEST LICENSE is required to transmit on the GMRS frequencies. However, you can transmit without a license on the FRS frequencies that are used by some of our GMRS groups within Tuolumne County. Explore and learn all the details at this class.

Hands on skills training will get you up and transmitting right away, with instructions on emergency communication.

STAY INFORMED when cellphones are down and power outages occur.
