If you want APRS, get an amateur license and quit trying to make GMRS into something it wasn't meant to be.

All you people wanting to turn GMRS into a clone of amateur radio need to just get their licenses.

The BTECH GMRS-V2 isn't bad. I love the fact you can program any GMRS frequency into any channel position and delete those you don't want to.use. Their flexibility is a strong selling point.

pretty sure its very clear.   It says what it says  there is no other interpretation.   I don't understand why people cant read and understand plain language.   Its clear as can be and does not need any other clarification.   The reason this is, and will still be debated is because people don't want to accept it and are always looking for a work around  

Although overload is a real thing, after testing LITERALLY every GMRS handheld manufactured in the last 5 years, I have never, EVER, NOT ONCE seen any overload/desense issues unless the radios were closer than about 75 feet, an 90% of the time they had to be closer than 25 feet or so.
To claim that overload is an issue at up to a 1/2-mile, on its surface, seems like a preposterous over-exagguration, based on my very extensive testing. But that's just my experience.. 

GMRS wasn't intended for what you are looking for. If I heard a call I'd change channel or not answer. 

Long standing tradition. You will find amateur protocol follows traditional operating procedures. Some repeater owners forbid cb lingo on their systems.

I agree 100%! You get every Tom, dick, and Harry wanting to set up a repeater just because they want one. Don't ask for a new mode of communication to compensate for irresponsible use of spectrum.

I've always opposed them.

GMRS is designed for families and small groups to communicate locally.

Of course, now that the FCC has finally, definitely, ruled linked repeaters illegal, we can now see a return to sanity.

I came across this from the FCC this morning. (paragraph 3)
It seems to remove any ambiguity from the language in Part 95. 😬

At 1 hour 19 minutes and 48 seconds THIS web site is specifically mentioned by the FCC agent that is speaking.  He seems to be a member here, and as such he knows and by extension the FCC KNOWS who is doing what.

I'm going to express my thoughts about the part 95 rulings. 
To start off, when I applied for my GMRS license, I requested a copy of the rules so I could have em on hand in my laptop. How ever, the handheld transceiver regard to limited power on it said 5 watts. Others today are arguing that truth. 
Secondly, people are saying that they have the rights to use amplifiers with the GMRS mobile, base and handheld. I'm told that nobody can use a amplifier. The copy of the part 95 rules was updated December 22, 2023. 
Either way I'm complying with the rules and IMHO I believe that the FCC should crack down on this issue.
