Need recommendations for radio to use on fsr

[Stresd]

How do I find the appropriate channel for the rd I'm on? I know they're not always the same because I've turned onto roads with signs that tell you to change to one particular Channel or another however some roads don't have that sign. Is there a default Channel in that situation

Buy yourself a radio and then you can program all the FSR RR Freq's into your radio. Lots of how vids to prog on line no matter which hand held you decide on. You can buy local but will pay more than if you just order on line.

So does any vhf radio work. Cuz I'm here in Bass Pro right now looking at a marine radio that's VHF and these guys are telling me that it's not going to work you can't program it to the channels that I'm looking for is that true or these guys just full of it

They're saying I can only use a CB radio Citizen band to reach those frequencies

Go to a real radio shop,

They obviously do not know what they are talking about.
CB is old and is no where near the Freq's you want.
A marine radio will not work for your purposes.
You want a self programable VHF with a Trans & receive freq range 136-174 MHz Check out the specs of the Puxing 777 or Baofeng uv-5r. Either will work fine. With something like these radios you will be able to program in the RR channels. Also the marine channels and a few thousand others if you want.

Agree with above. Dont buy a marine radio or a motroloa family radio, you will not be able to program them to work

This one gets good reviews (for a cheap chinese made) can i get one off the shelf somewhere here in the Lower Mainland or do I need to order it

You can find them all over online, including amazon.ca , I am not sure about locally. Make sure you purchase the programming cable as well.

OK I just spent the last our at my local radio shop I got myself a pair of Alinco DJ 500tb they are dual band VHF UHF FM transceiver made in Japan and the guy in the store showed me how to use them and programmed all the RR channels for me
