GMRS license questions

[K6GBW]

The reality is no one settles for a 2 watt radio when they can have a four or five watt radio. They do it anyway, so why fight it, especially when we're talking 2 vs 4 watts? It's just silly. Yes, the chirping in the Los Angeles area make MURS pretty miserable for voice use. Why they chose to do that is a mystery. If they wanted to create a VHF voice service that was actually usable you need to keep it to one thing..voice. The FCC could have given the data bursters one of the old AAA 151.XXX frequencies since they don't even use them anymore. All the AAA guys run on cell phones and apps. Those frequencies have been silent for years. Recycle, repurpose and reuse I say!

There are a lot of options but DIY companies are not going to be aware of them. Even companies with IT departments have no clue.

A radio dealer or consultant is needed. Pick your poison.

Or buy a Walmart FRS blister pack or Amazon Baofengshuii de Jur. This is why Part 90 business licensing is at an all time low.
Which will not bode well when some lawyers at FCC decide to auction off whats left of the LMR bands for wideband data / cellular.
