When the pavement ends and the cell bars disappear, your radio is how you stay in contact. Trailhead Radio is where overlanders and off-road travelers learn to do it right.
No gatekeeping, no jargon wall, no assuming you already know what a repeater is. Whether you've never keyed up a mic or you're chasing your ham license, this is the place to get licensed, dial in your rig, and actually know how to use it on the trail.
Inside you'll find:
- A step-by-step path to your GMRS license — $35, no exam, covers your whole family
- A Technician (ham) study track for when you want more range
- Comms planning for convoys, solo trips, and backcountry travel
- Setup help — programming, channels, repeaters, and gear worth buying
- The weekly net, where the community checks in on the air
Consider it your trailhead — the starting point for real radio confidence, so next time you roll out of cell range, staying connected is the easy part.
Get your callsign. Get on the air. We'll see you at the net.
