Looking at the GMRS rules, it looks like a license is required. No
relation to the Ship's Station. Not clear why GMRS is all that
desirable. FRS works well enough and since no license is required,
alot of cruisers are usng FRS.

If licensed for SSB, is an additional license required for GMRS usage ?

Are all users of the GMRS radios required to be licensed or are the radios
themselves regarded as licensed and the owner held responsible, or what;
and, is each radio licensed or is a pair licensed, they being typically
sold in pairs ?

I hear a license is $80 for 5 yrs. Why is it worth it and to whom, i.e.
who is the target user ?

Appreciatively,
Courtney
