I think some other members here have clarified that for you.
Don't be one of those that fail to ID. There are a surprising number of Hams on GMRS. The DF equipment that works on 70cm works just fine on GMRS too. ?

I would agree.  These jokers don’t play the siren because they want to hear it.  They do it to get a response. A complete lack of response might result in their boredom and moving on to torturing bugs.

Repeaters are required to identify. You have to read the whole thing. You do see where it says “if” don’t you?  You can’t decide to stop reading something in its entirety and glean only the meaning you want. I mean you can but you’re still incorrect. 

No... ALL Stations MUST ID -- a repeater is a station.
There is an specific EXCLUSION for what is a private/family-only repeater, since the repeater ID would be identical to the ID used by all family members (that of the license holder).
Paragraph (c) was quoted previously.

The mount is the same mount that is used to mount a satellite dish TV antenna with an additional brace.

All GMRS and FRS radios manufactured since 2017 use/share the same frequencies for channels 1-22 which are simplex, so yes, you will be able to say "go to channel 7" and talk with everyone as long as someone didnt buy one of those shitty radios that comes pre-programmed with tones/codes (most do not).

As others have mentioned, codes, hidden messages and transmitting a false or deceptive communication are all rule violations.
 
I think 10-codes are allowed because they are so heavily used, documented and well known that it's not really considered code, but more like shorthand for voice.

That's exactly how I would understand it.

The ARRL is the only lobbying voice for the amateur radio service. I disagree with the ARRL frequently, but I do support them. For the last 5 years I just send them a $50 donation tot he legal defense fund instead of a membership.  
BUT
As a member, you do get access to every issue of QST every printed, online.  I have used that feature in the past for digging up articles, projects, parts lists, etc.  That was very handy to have.  You also get an email address in the arrl.net domain, which can come in very handy.  To use the Logbook of the World you do not have to be a member, but if you want the ARRL Worked All State or ARRL DXCC awards, you must be a current paid member, PLUS pay the fee for the printing of your award and the postage. 
I recommend membership to new hams.  LOADS of stuff on the website that is good info to the newer licensee, and QST has usually one or two articles every month that are of interest to most.  
 

Got my GMRS license last week - WRWF929
Got my first radio in from amazon
Downloaded Chirp and uploaded a list of local repeaters.

I am a legend in my own bath tub!!! LOL!

Still in listen and learn mode. But having a ton of fun!

That’s the “Hello, World” of two way radios! Good job!

Man, you have no idea who you're talking to. LOL.  I'm independently wealthy.  I have owned my own business for decades. I have a wife, kids, grand kids that I love and spend a bunch of time with.  Along with a decades of studies in my field, I spent 7 years studying Constitutional Law and the founding and framing of the US.  I have dabbled in politics, contributing to State level legislation.  I have been an engineer since 1984 and have more licenses and certifications than I know what to do with, including two new certifications in the last 2 months. As an independent consultant, I have 13 years supporting the Department of Homeland Security; another 10 years supporting DoJ as well as DoD and I am currently an engineer working at the Pentagon.  I love long-range shooting, have participated in professional level auto racing, 4-wheeling and I have been playing radio for 35 years, including being a licensed Amateur for 2 decades.  Oh!  I almost forgot, I started ground school recently and I am working on getting my private pilot license.
I feel like my range of knowledge, understanding and experience are fairly vast.  Though, I guess I can still do more (shrug).
 
 
Just a quick reminder, you are the one who's very first post in this thread was bringing BS from "the other thread".  I am just playing by your rules.  See below...
 

 
 
Yeah, about that... you're still very, very wrong about s-meter calibration and it's roots.  SMDH.  Saying the wrong thing over and over again doesn't make it right.
 
 
I'm missing how it's dishonest to recognize the confusion of the original title (something you pointed out, I may add) correcting it and then literally making a note of what I corrected and why.
I really do hope you are done posting in this thread, though.  All you are doing is reaffirming your lack of knowledge and derailing a thread that was actually helpful.  It's a train wreck now.  With any luck, Rich will clean this thread up and lock it.

You can share what ever you want. It belongs to you.

Thanks for the responses! I assumed that was the case, but I couldn't know for sure. Not knowing of anyone in my area that uses GMRS to ask. I'm sure I will meet folks in my general area to learn from as time passes, but this forum will be my source of info to learn in the meantime. 
Thanks again!

North Georgia GMRS use Tac numbers after their call signs. That's the way they "prove" they are paid members.

This is their site. I live in Monroe County (Coker Creek) TN & listen to them daily.

I have had/used the KG-1000G, the 1000G+ and the DB-25... The DB-25 is probably my lease-favorite radio, and the KG-1000G+ is my mostest-favorite Part 95 GMRS radio, with the older 1000G right behind it.

I have a theory that they wait until I purchase a certain radio and then wait a short time to release the new and improved "plus" model. It has happened too many times to be coincidence.

Alex... Man,  I am trying so hard to be nice/respectful, but I am totally bewildered by every response from you and I am starting to get a little upset.  Like, it's giving me a headache.  I will do what I can to make this as clear as possible.  Read the next two sentences very carefully, and then read it again.
I am NOT discussing RST reports for CW.  I am talking about a modern Signal Report for analog voice, with origins rooted in RST. 
This is going to be my last reply to you on this... the only two reasons I am replying at all is because I am hoping what I'm writing will finally make sense to you, and to explain to new operators and non-hams who may hear this lingo, what it is that Hams are saying to them.
 
One more breakdown... please read carefully.
The radio's s-meter is literally, exclusively reflecting the signal strength and in the current/modern Signal Report, the S represents signal strength.  You get the signal strength from the s-meter.  Period.  End of discussion.  We are not using RST for voice.  The Readability (intelligibility) of the words being spoken describes how well the listener understand what you are saying.  That's it.  Nothing else.
  
I am talking about modern signal reports.  There is no mutually exclusivity.  The s-meter literally provides you with a measured value (if the meter is properly calibrated) for 50% of the report you are delivering.  Unless you are not using a modern analog voice signal report scheme, you can't provide an accurate signal report without a calibrated s-meter.  The requirement for a calibrated meter is why I said it could be scientific or subjective, depending on your radio meter type and if the meter is calibrated. 
  
I don't participate in CW exchanges, so I can't speak to how the RST reports are being used today.  However, I can say (agreeing with you) the original RST reporting system was created to be used with Morse Code.  However, I am NOT explaining the original RST reporting system.  I am explaining the current signal reporting system, that has been adopted from the original RST system, for the purpose reporting voice quality and signal strength for all analog voice communications that amateur radio operators use and that GMRS operators may be exposed to.  CW RST reports have nothing to do with this, beyond the origin story.

Excellent information. Thank you!

Total agreement with you Marc.
