The units that are ALSO GMRS capable probably do. However,
technically, you must have an FCC GMRS license to operate these. Bet you
a dollar to a donut that 99% of the buyers of these units don't. While
I don't condone unlicensed operation, I must say I haven't ever heard of
the FCC issuing citations to FRS/GMRS HT owners for this infraction, yet.


I read the entire outside of three different brands at Costco.
Twice each. There was no mention on any of the licensing requirement.
I'd be really surprised if it showed up anywhere obvious inside the
box either.

I'm willing to bet the FCC does no more about these things
than they ever did about the mess that CB became. And it has to be
hard to even locate these things -- I doubt the FCC will be out in
force trying to find them at football games, campgrounds, etc.
