WRDD237 got a reaction from Downs in Seeking logical rationale for Type 95 April 18, 2019

Frankly, I want to know the real reason why the FCC requires you to use a Type 95 radio for GMRS. Suppose you're a licensed ham AND have your GMRS license. This rule just means I've got to purchase additional radios to lug around. Who is this rule benefiting and why?

There was a petition in 2014 to add exception to the Type 95 rules to ham operators but it failed miserably.

Thanks

You do realize that you are expecting logic from an agency of the federal government.
