  1. Neither of those reference GMRS. They are (old class D) 27MHz CB and MURS services. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-95/subpart-E/section-95.1749 is the GMRS closest match. You obviously did not click the link to the letter from the FCC clarifying the regulation. Here it is again... https://swcrs.org/?p=682
  2. § 95.349 Network connection. Operation of Personal Radio Services stations connected with the public switched network is prohibited, unless otherwise allowed for a particular Personal Radio Service by rules in the subpart governing that specific service. See e.g., §§ 95.949 and 95.2749. FCC explanation : https://swcrs.org/?p=682
  3. It should be noted that a 5/8 wave antenna is an antenna that is physically 5/8's of a wave long and a loading coil is used at the base to make up the 3/8's difference from a full wave. ground radials are needed for the antenna to function properly. At 462Mhz a 5/8 wave antenna is 16 inches long. for a handheld radio's "rubber duck" a quarter wave is 6.33 inches long or a 3 quarter wave is about 19 inches long either will give the best performance with the 3/4 wave radiating more tword the horizon and the 1/4 wave radiating more streight up and out. Remember Rubber duck antennas have an average loss of 6db. As far as "a good tiny antenna"... there is no such thing.
