GMRS & MURS
 

to whoever said that I need a liscence to operate on GMRS and MURS,

I never said that I was going to operate on GMRS without a liscence. I know it
requires one. What I said was that those particular hams can't ddo anything
about me operating there.

because they don't have any control over the liscening for that. The FCC does,
as far as I remember.

Therefore, those hams can't abuse the liscening for that like they did at the
ham radio liscening exam.

I always try to stay legal. If I plan on using GMRS, I will get a GMRS
liscence, and follow the GMRS rules.

The MURS frequencies do not require a liscence. At least not the last time I
checked a few months ago.

But I'll take another look at them to see if something's changed in these past
3 months regarding them.

you are correct. I have seen it officially spelled other ways also, but those
were probably also misspellings like I made. After I read your post, I took
out my driver's license, and it was spelled exactly as you said.

Not so far as I know. I have a GMRS license, but MURS and FMRS (if
they aren't indeed the same thing) don't require one, unless that has
just changed recently.
GMRS license is $75 for 5 years, or was as of January, 2003, anyway.

No, they don't. If you are a Ham, most HT's will work on the MURS freqs.

And then you're breaking the law.

Ham equipment is not type approved (or whatever it's called nowadays)
so it is not legal for use in anything but ham use. Move it out of
band, and it's illegal.

The fact that MURS does not require a license is irrelevant. You still
must follow the rules, and the rules require type approved equipment.

Let me guess, you all are not satisfied with the current selection of
MURS equipment out there. Well you have to remember that MURS is still
in its infancy and more stuff should surface as MURS matures. FRS was
the same way when it came to being, very little selection of equipment
when the service was introduced but look at all we have now.

Ham equipment is not type approved (or whatever it's called nowadays)
so it is not legal for use in anything but ham use. Move it out of
band, and it's illegal.

That is only done so the big folks can make money!
