Nothing wrong with a J-Pole if it connects you to whom you want to communicate with. I have two of them that I use indoors regularly with my HTs. The higher placed outdoor antenna definitely does better though. Michael WRHS965 KE8PLM

After 2017 rule change FRS and GMRS use same frequencies, except FRS cannot use repeater inputs 467.xxx0. Kids may be clean in the eyes of the law if they use FRS radios. Just for your information...

You'll need an FRN number to apply. It's like a "customer number" for the FCC. Again, you just fill out the online form, and you'll get it. So, technically, first you get your FRN number, then you can buy the GMRS license paying with your credit card on the FCC website. There's a great 10 minute video on youtube showing this process. Super easy, you probably don't even need but it couldn't hurt. BTW: What's the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Answer: Outlaws are wanted.
