Do they really enforce GMRS licenses?

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

I was browsing Amazon one time and it seems like those 36 mile 2 way radios are in a way ‘hot sellers’.
I’m thinking that the majority of the people who purchase these high distance 2 way radios aren’t aware of the GMRS licensing they are required to obtain.

So do they really enforce the GMRS licensing?

Also, I’v been looking around the internet and it seems like channels 15-22 (or more?) are required to have a GMRS license BUT what if you use a preset on those channels 15-22 that allow you to have 38 presets?

      My girlfriend is going to Tanzania in Jan, and I was thinking about getting her a pair of two-way talk radios for her and her mother (they are going together.) Manufacturer websites are saying that it depends on the terrain conditions. Does anyone know for sure weather or not an American Brand walkie-talkie style 2-way radios will work in Tanzania?

      I have been giving my supervisors cell phones for work. This is not working and I am looking for a way to keep our office, 3 supervisors and myself connected via 2 way radios (or similar). This would mean buying out of the sprint contract for two phones. I need up to a 30 mile range.
