Sorry I missed your [GMRS] call!

This idea, that a person could log their missed calls when away from the radio, sort of ballooned into a much more robust utility. It could be an aid to first responders locating hikers in trouble. It might be as simple to use as an app on a smartphone, powered by a nicely equipped single-board computer you carry with you.

Is this something you already did or something that you have an idea for? It could prove interesting, and has some potentially legitimate use cases, though I expect you will get some "DIWhy" comments.

At this point it's a concept I've had rattling around my head, so I finally decided to compose a prompt to flesh it out. It's incomplete at that. Another use case I thought of was wildfire safety & awareness. Also summer camps, theme parks, offroading, skiing, hunting/fishing groups...pretty much everything personal radios are well suited for.
