I’m not on it myself because permits. I am on meshtastic and helping to grow the mesh, because no permits. I’ll end up getting GMRS (instead of continuing to use it illegally) because no test, but haven’t yet because permit. “No encryption” is also pretty lame.
I don’t even mind that if I could use it, all there is in my area are geezers talking about their lawnmower and what they’re grilling today, that’s kinda nice actually, but I have to learn 433 questions because you never know what’ll be on the test and my ADHD respectfully declines.
That’s just me, I’m sure others have other reasons.
