Re: Communications Preparations
You can set up dual channel monitoring with chirp, with one of rhem being primary. Meaning that if both channels light up, you hear the primary over the secondary. Transnit goes to primary until you switch i believe.
Gunowner99, are you looking to do a rolling scan of all programmed channels for activity?
If you figure out how to do that, please let me know!
Btw, there are more GMRS channels you are missing, along with MURs blue dot and green dot, you could also add the 2m call and 70cm call ham channels to try an listen in.

Re: Communications Preparations
The five Basic MURS are:
151.820
151.880
151.940
151.940
154.600
No as has been point out there are Blue and green dot, but these five will/ are the most common, and will help most people. Even now though there are few and far between enforcers but this is also making enemies of the HAM community as people are buying the cheep radios and disrupting people who know how to DF them and make life rough. I was like you when I first bought the radio I was only going to use it when SHTF, and a mentor to me asked, well who are you going to talk to when that happens, and how will you know who to trust, on the reverse side, how will they know they can trust you? So I got my license and became more active. This had the side effect of increasing my meat network to include some key people, so I am a "trusted" source and often received advanced warning on certain things, which is never a bad thing. Now not everyone needs get in as deep as I was thrown, but for basic communications to home (from work) or between trusted people, is ALWAYS a good backup. Just helped a guy in VA get his ticket and GMRS license for just that reason.

You may be behind the 8 ball, but you can still have things like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KRGBSCF...osi&th=1&psc=1 delivered, it's a good start.

Re: Communications Preparations
Yea Lebanon club (K3LV) has multiple analog repeaters, we are talking getting a DMR repeater, but there are already three on the same ridge line on Cornwall mountain, so I have to question value, and if out limited resources may be directed elsewhere. I've a great Motorola MT1250, that is type classed for MURS, and programmed for HAM. Plus I'm legally MARScapped on several radios, Fllipping radios are like Rabbits, I don't know where they all came from.

Re: Communications Preparations
A little bit on the advanced side, but for those asking what frequencies to listen too, the Communicator's Frequency bible Is the NIFOG and it's companion AUXFOG. I have hard copies, as well as computer PDFs. These are available to everyone:
