Good morning, everyone. I am a new member and new to GMRS having done some studying online of best practices and obtained a radio.
My question is, having got my FCC license, how strict is the definition of "family member"? Like I suspect many folks, I am not legally married but am in a long term relationship with my partner. I bought 2 radios primarily for emergency use in a scenario where the 2 of us may be separated and cellphones are not working. Whereas I intend to practice with and use the radio on a regular basis, it is unlikely that my girlfriend would be using the radio unless it was an emergency and there was no other way to get through to me. I do intend giving her a crash course in usage, etiquette, best practices, etc., once I have got some experience to pass on.
Do you guys think that this is within the spirit of the license agreement or is this a big no-no?
TIA of any advice,
Dave
