I am in the same boat you are. I have family members who are ok with buying a radio, but would not want to pay for a licence or study for a ham licence. I got a licence for the family so they can use their GMRS radios without worrying what freq. or output power they are using. Now I have to figure out how the new rules will affect me in 5 years. It sounds like in 5 years my licence will no longer cover them and they will be expected to get individual GMRS licenses. That will not fly well when the time comes.
