I am the president and a ground searcher of a Search and Rescue group in Florida. We are attempting to utilize radio's as our primary communication as we are often in locations that do not have or has spotty wireless coverage.
My idea would be to purchase equipment to have a "mobile" repeater and have all of the radio's connect to this repeater. The concern comes with if my license alone would be significant enough to keep the repeater and/or everyone involved in the search legal or would each individual who I was working with need their own license?
I know previously there was a business GMRS license but that appears to have gone away so I don't know how to keep everyone covered? I do know that if I were not physically present on a search and the equipment was being utilized that someone else would have to have their own individual license in order to be covered.
Thanks for any thoughts.
