There is a fee and license required for GMRS Radios -- URL:

Why does this thread re appear over and over again ??

I suggest you determine what kind of radio you have -- perhaps it is a
FRS/GMRS Dual Service Radio

In which case read the FCC URL above.

A telephone verbal is useless. The FCC official web site is the straight
word.

Joe says again. I did call the FCC before useing them. She
specifically stated the chnls 1-7 required the $75 dollar license!!!!


Actually, the license fee is $85 for 5 years. The fees went up from $80
to
$85 a month or two ago.

Simple enuff. The instructions nor the radioes show anything on them
regarding GMRS or FRS.
