What is GMRS?

The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a personal two-way radio service created by the FCC.

Transmitting on GMRS frequencies requires a license from the FCC, however no knowledge test is required to obtain a license.
A license covers you and your immediate family members and is valid for 10 years.
Right now, the fee is $35 for the 10-year term, or only $3.50 per year.
