SteveH Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 In the summary is says: In addition to the comprehensive review and update of the rules to reflect modern practices, the Commission enhanced the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) to allow new digital applications, allot additional interstitial channels and extend the license term from five to ten years.

n4gix Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Unless it was changed when I blinked, the last rules specifically disallowed digital modes on GMRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastorGary Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 As we understand it, some very short duration data packets are allowed under certain circumstances... not full digital modulation. Logan5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 1 second packet bursts with an interval of at least 30 secs I believe. It was pushed by Garmin for their walkie talkie trackers. They wanted it for GMRS as well as FRS. Logan5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 So a license purchased on September 29 will be a ten year license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastorGary Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 That is essentially correct. Paragraph 34, in the data supplied by the Commission in the link below, stipulates the new protocol: https://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0519/FCC-17-57A1.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
