You can't use any modified equipment on GMRS. The equipment you use
MUST be GMRS type accepted. And... don't forget you need a license.


The only bands you do not need type accepted/certificated equipment on
are the amateur bands that you are licensed for.

Any modification of a radio in another service will void the type
acceptance.

Actually, commercial broadcasters can modify their equipment, but also
need to monitor their output for any potential problems.

As for the GMRS license, the manufacturers of the radios do inform
buyers that they need an FCC license, but I have never seen printing
that small before. ;-)

Happy trails,
