Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Rules must have changed since I bought my Rino, because the manual states.........
" The Rino 120 may operate on GMRS frequencies that are regulated by the FCC. In order to transmitt on these frequencies, you are required to obtain a license from the FCC. An 18 year old, who is not a representative of a foreign government, is eligible to apply for a GMRS license.."
Then it goes into how and where you get the forms.
Nowhere in the manual dose it say that you must get a license if broadcasting on the FSR frequencies or that there's rules for Dual Purpose. My manual is from August 2002.
I used my Rino as an example because I have to turn FSR or GMRS on, they cant be working at the same time. Certain channels will only broad cast in FSR and others in GMRS....maybe the new radios will borad cast by simply tuning into a channel.....thus the rules
Either way....Check you manual or contact the FCC......How the FCC is going to know you're broadcasting on GMRS? I have no clue.
