Default GMRS Watts v Distance?




GMRS is NOT CB. See URL:
http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/ind...general_mobile


WRONG! GMRS is CB. It's defined in part 95, subpart A. All of part 95
is CB.
What you're thinking of is only the 27MHz allocation - part 95, subpart D.
FRS
and MURS are also in part 95, and if you read the FCC's page on each, the
FCC
indicates that each is part of CB, but neither operates on 27MHz.

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.


It's still CB and you know it.


Au Contraire please read the Wikipedia description
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cb_radio

Quote
"Citizens' Band radio (CB) is, in most countries, a system of
short-distance, simplex[1] radio communications between individuals on a
selection of 40 channels within the 27 MHz (11 meter) band. The CB radio
service should not be confused with FRS, GMRS, MURS, or amateur ("ham")
radio. "

Part 95 of the FCC Rules does not state that CB = GMRS
Should I believe Wikipedia, the FCC, or you?
