The GMR2 operates on GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) frequencies, which require a
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) license. You must be licensed prior to operating
on channels 1-7, 15-22 or RP15-22, and RUGGED which comprise the GMRS channels of
the GMR2. Serious penalties may result from unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation
of FCC rules, as stipulated in the Communications Act’s Sections 501 and 502 (amended).
You will be issued a call sign by the FCC that should be used for station identification when
operating your radio on GMRS channels. You should also cooperate by engaging in permissible
transmissions only, avoiding channel interference with other GMRS users, and being prudent
with the length of your transmission time
To obtain a license or ask questions about the license application, contact the FCC at
1-888-CALL-FCC or go to the FCC’s website: http://www.fcc.gov and request Form 605.
