GMRS power output is defined as transmitter output power, not ERP. Go have fun with your beam, or even a beam array.

GMRS requires a user license, FRS does not. FRS "Rules" are generally non enforceable. 'FRS is licensed by rule. This means an individual license is not required to operate an FRS radio provide you comply with the rules. You may operate an FRS radio regardless of your age, and for personal or for business use if you are not a representative of a foreign government.' And you are right...businesses need to be on MURS if they want cheap comms. Maybe the good thing is that most of the cheap radios that people buy from a "store" are good for 2 watts at best. Really what was done with the rules was to make what people were (uneducated about radio) doing illegally with store bought radios that did GMRS and FRS in being legal. The fcc should have never allowed combo radios to begin with.
