The cost of a GMRS license was probably no big deal until all those cheapo

No argument there.

The license requirement is outdated yes, unethical and immoral, uh, no.

It isn't the license - it's the cost.

I'm pretty this requirement will go the way of CB license someday.

Probably right. In any case, for my few days per year use of these
things to hopefully contribute to a valid public purpose, I am not
going to pay $80. Unethical or not, it's just silly.
