    is it Kosher for a GMRS operator to use the "73s de" signoff?

    I mean, I guess, GMRS isn't really organized opearting like ham radio is, so anything goes.

    is it Kosher for a GMRS operator to use the "73s de" signoff?

    Are there any rabbis on this network?

    Oops, forgot to add.. I think it's just one 73. Not plural.

    I dont believe it is even koser for a ham to say that IMHO.. if one is going to say that, say just 73.

    No plurality needed..

    But I presume it could be used with GMRS also..

    Thank you. I've always known some operators to include the s on the
    end.

    I had an old fella that was a stickler on things like this, he was always saying to me, when I was young, "you're saying best regardses!"

    So I definitely to this day have always used "seven-three"!
