I never said that I was going to operate on GMRS without a liscence. I know it
requires one. What I said was that those particular hams can't ddo anything
about me operating there.

because they don't have any control over the liscening for that. The FCC does,
as far as I remember.

Therefore, those hams can't abuse the liscening for that like they did at the
ham radio liscening exam.

I always try to stay legal. If I plan on using GMRS, I will get a GMRS
liscence, and follow the GMRS rules.

The MURS frequencies do not require a liscence. At least not the last time I
checked a few months ago.

But I'll take another look at them to see if something's changed in these past
3 months regarding them.


Not so far as I know. I have a GMRS license, but MURS and FMRS (if
they aren't indeed the same thing) don't require one, unless that has
just changed recently.
GMRS license is $75 for 5 years, or was as of January, 2003, anyway.
