GMRS/FRS transceiver & FCC licensing
Hello,
I just got a pack of two Audiovox GMRS7001-2CH two-way
radios and had an unpleasant surprise after opening the
package - "USE OF THIS RADIO ... REQUIRES FCC LICENSE".
Some research showed that, yes, transmitting on a GMRS
frequency requires license. However, the radio have
7 "FRS-only" channels (freq. 467.5625-467.7125). Do I
need license is I use ONLY those channels?
I expect to need the radio once or twice per year when
camping, and I don't want to spend money and time on
FCC license, if not needed for the FRS channels.
Regards,
Gonzo
