Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Mine is in SOS mode - I’m on SOS all morning
Are you having issues? My phone is working fine. Just weird it keeps flip flopping in and out of SOS.

Ha ha, I know how to call hubby with out cell service. I begged him over a year to get a CB. He finally did and now he has CB, Ham & GMRS. He’s gotten together with a small group of men in our community on GMRS. If I can’t contact him in emergency I can get on his GMRS and get people in touch with him. He and my son in law take one in an emergency go bag every day to work. Praying he only uses radio for fun and not emergency. After seeing NC mountains it most definitely could be useful.
What’s GMRS (digital CB?). Went online for walkie talkies 1000 yard range - funny thing is it needs a SIM card from network provider- Verizon. ????? Come to find out that they they use - you can’t make this shit up…cell towers as repeaters😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing/ so if cell towers are down it won’t work. Elon design a starlink phone quickly quickly please🙏🏻
