Originally posted by davis002To use a GMRS radio, you need an FCC license. The cost? $80 per radio every 5 years.
While the idea of paying for a license to use the cheap toy-like "bubble pack" radios may seem extreme, be advised that the GMRS service is much more than this. The GMRS license allows you to use commercial grade, professional handheld, mobile and base radios capable of 5 watts (portable) and 50 watts (mobile or base). Also GMRS, like commercial, public safety and ham radio, allows the use of repeater stations which greatly increase the range of portables and mobiles.
There is an excellant website for discussing FRS, GMRS and other private radio services. Go to http://www.popularwireless.com/ to find out more or check out the forums there at http://www.popularwireless.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi .

Originally posted by JackholeThey require an FCC license, if you're not in the US the FCC has no say in what you do with your radios. There may be some Canadian communications authority, but I have no idea if there is or not.

Are you sure GMRS radios requires licenses. They never did up here. I remember when CBs did but that was scrapped a long time ago. (About the time they went from 23 channels to 40). Is CB still active? I can listen to them on my scanner but don't. The few times I have monitored the frequencies nobody was talking.

I did some research, and found that it was in fact true. To use a GMRS radio, you need an FCC license. The cost? $80 per radio every 5 years.

Originally posted by hisownheroWhat would you need a police scanner for?
I have a Uniden Bearcat desktop model at home. It's just a basic 10-channel scanner. To my knowledge the local authorities aren't switching to digital or trunking in the near future. Wouldn't hurt to ask around though.Last edited by wvd1979; 10-20-2006, 01:41 AM.

Originally posted by hisownheroIt seems like they should be illegal because if I were a cop and for instance someone hit the silent alarm at a bank, I wouldn't want the bank robber to be able to hear that go out over the radio and possibly shoot the person who hit the button or worse.
