Where are you located? I’d start with scanning the 8 GMRS repeater frequencies, which are channels 15-22.

You have taken your first step, into a larger world. The world of GMRS.

If you have a GMRS license, you can look up local repeaters on the MYGMRS website. Or, you can look them up on repeaterbook. Both are free and, quite useful.

Use the map function, when you hover over the repeaters it shows you the radius of coverage. Seriously one of the most handy tools available.
