    Maggot/Minion Radios

    From a Utah Mini thread:

    Hey Buzz, just outa curiousity how did you come up with those channels? Might be kinds cool to have a standard Maggot/Minion Channel known to be used at all ski resorts/areas worldwide. That way, whenever your looking for change for a nickel, ya just hop on your radio.

    Any thoughts?

    I think those frequencies came from a.m. stations that play "Smooth Jazz" which came from Cletus' sexy voice. Which came from somewhere in his chest.

    I got the same story, "it is what we have always used". I had no idea.

    Now I do.

    5-13 it is!!

    4-19 is a channel I picked personally, never could hold out till 4-20.

    It's 4:09 in the afternoon, your watching "Perspectives". I'm your host, Lionel Hutchins and with me, as always, is Doug Coombs.

    Only downside to 5-13 is it is FRS only which is limited to 1/2 watt. Choose a channel 8 and up for one watt service.

    only problem with 4-20 is that every other stoner group uses it

    I thought that the very first time maggots used radios together we agreed on 4-21, since 4-20 is taken.

    INCORRECT! FRS (Family Radio Service) channels 1 through 7 are shared FRS / IS-GMRS (Interstatial General Mobil Radio Service) and therefore your radio will broadcast at PEP above 0.5W on those channels if your radio is capable of it. Channels 8-14 are for FRS only and are therefor limited to a 0.5W PEP maximum.

    See here for further reference:
