My point was in the marketing of the radios. They marketed those FRS radios
for several years basically saying "you don't need a license!" Then they add
the GMRS frequencies, but don't really tell anybody that they'll need a
license that costs more than the radios to operate them legally. The folks
that bought them for me had no idea that we'd need licences. I was only
trying to notify those folks who didn't know.

Good luck to the FCC trying to enforce those laws with the hundreds of
thousands, if not millions of those radios that are out there now
unlicenced. You think any of them who gave their kids a pair for Christmas
are going to say... "now wait 'till we get a FCC licence honey!" Nah.

The frequencies that are open to to the GMRS are in the little used
'business section' of the UHF band, and these frequencies have had
license requirements for years... so whats your bitch? Does that mean
Im due a refund after all these years? ... you know that answer.
