Default GMRS Watts v Distance?

From what I can see, GMRS licensees are receiving next to no support
from the FCC in this regard. The GMRS-only frequencies seem to be
suffering from widespread interference from owners of the dual-mode
(FRS/GMRS) radios, using the GMRS frequencies without bothering to (or
even being aware of the legal requirement to) get a license.


I believe you are correct. They seem to be going the way CB
licenses. They finally realized that no one was getting the
license due to the inability or desire to track non-licensed
users. Except in some extreme cases, where the operator had
a stationary base station and was running high power.
