+BadAndy Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Does anyone have any experience with the Audiovox gmrs/frs/gps combo units? They look pretty inexpensive. Quote Link to comment
billsumrall Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 No experience with this unit - but, if you are not familiar with GMRS, the FCC license per unit is $75 with a first time fine of $10,000. I order two GMRS units, read that and never opened the package! Sold them on eBay. Bill Quote Link to comment

So, my Wife, my kids, my Father, Mother, or Brother can all use any GMRS unit with my GMRS handle and are legally "Ok". It's not tied to the unit at all, only to the licensee.

In practical terms, you would have to tick someone off so they rat you out to the FCC. But somewhere out there is someone who's ticked off that you got out of bed this morning. Your call.

When I first looked at the Rino ages ago I think it only transmits Coords at FRS power. It's quite possible it's a FCC rules and regs thing. Quote Link to comment
