Can licensed hams still require a GMRS license to operate on 462 – 467 MHz ?
Hi Guys, I currently hold my GROL and studying for my Hamy. I am interested in GMRS Radios, Do I need the license, or does my GROL Trump that License? No pun intended?
Thank you!
Thanks that was clear and informative now I have a better understanding of the two systems
Great presentation Cody! Very informative and I actually picked up a couple things that I didn’t know about GMRS. As always BridgeCom Systems has super support and great products.
Good presentation. Thanks
