Default GMRS Watts v Distance?

GMRS is NOT CB. See URL:

GMRS frequencies are UHF- FM and requires a license and a fee for
application (~ $75 ?). Use is sharply defined. Repeater operation is
permitted. There are severe penalties for non-licensed users.


Out of curiosity - are you aware of any actual enforcement actions
in the past few years, taken against people using GMRS frequencies
without a license?

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.
