[ICOM] 12V base station that can be operated onthe GMRSFrequencies

[Kay W. Hargis]

Good evening Adam,

Thanks for the info... I was unaware of the "Type Acceptance"
requirement, but am aware of the licensing requirement.  Some of the
respondents have pointed me toward commercial equipment that has been
accepted for GMRS operation, may look at some of that... Again, thanks
for the kind response..

73,

Kay

Hi Kay,

Radios for use on GMRS require FCC certification (type acceptance) under
Part 95A. A station licence (station authorisation) is also required.

Cheers for now, 73,

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply.... GMRS can only run 5 watts maximum to an
external antenna... It is interesting, and I need to look into it to see
if GMRS requires "Type Acceptance" radios to be used.  GMRS overlaps
some frequencies with FRS, FRS is a license free service, GMRS is a
licensed service but they are allowed to communicate with each other on
the "Shared" frequencies... Interesting question you pose... I will have
to research it..

Thanks...

Kay

You can't do that legally. GMRS radios have specific qualifications that
do not include programable channels. At those power levels a FCC license
is required also.

Good afternoon,

I am looking for a 12V base station, 10 or more programable channels, PL
encode/decode 5 Watt output that can be operated on the GMRS frequencies
(462 Mhz Area).

Anyone have any idea where I might get one of these, or are some of the
amateur UHF radios convertible to use at these frequencies.

Thanks,

Kay, N7KH
