+Bubba Cache 0 Posted November 10, 2003 I have a few questions about a GMRS license and I hope this forum is the right place. I have called the FCC and I know the forms I need and that it cost $75. I have heard that the license is a "family license" and I have hear that it is an individual license. Which is it? Anything else I need to know before I get it? Thanks a ton.

+spiderteam 0 Posted November 20, 2003 The $75 GMRS is a family license which includes you, your spouse, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, nieces and nephews, I believe. The actual list can be found somewhere on the fcc website. Do a search on GMRS and I think you'll get there. Have fun!

jrohde 0 Posted November 20, 2003 I also have GMRS license (I rarely use GMRS though). I believe the license covers all family members living in the call holders household. Jon KC9AXZ WPUR857 KC9AXZ.COM Quote Share this post Link to post

boydg 0 Posted November 21, 2003 With that wide open policy, there are at least a couple of US States that would only need a single license for the entire population! Quote Share this post Link to post

+ApK 0 Posted November 26, 2003 a "family license" and I have hear that it is an individual license. Which is it? "individual" is in contrast to "other entity," like a business or a club, which used to be allowed to get a GMRS license. Now the license is only issued to an individual, and that individual is allowed to let his family operate his station. ApK Quote Share this post Link to post
