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.

Actually, GMRS has it's roots in Citizens Band, as it started out life
as Citizens Band Class A, when Citizens Band was Created in the 1960's.
It was changed to GMRS much more recently by Commission Action. At one
time ALL Citizen Band Radios were licensed, and required a License Fee
be paid, and in truth, all Citizens Band Radios are still Licensed by
the Commission, under a General Nationwide Blanket License created
when the Commission dropped the Individual Licenses, and Fees, for
those particular Radio Services.
