Call Sign Use w/Family Members

[ChrisO83]

Hello, 

Brand new to the GMRS community. 
Purchased a set of radios for out door use with my adult family members. 

Since family members are using the radios under my license I am assuming each family member using the radio must use my call sign, is that correct?

What if we are talking to each other, do we both need to sign on/off with the call sign or just one of us?

Thanks for your help,

CO

To be fully compliant, yes and yes.  Most people don’t.

You can also have them add a code name to the call sign to keep track of folks. My son Adam could use "Alpha" or you could just use a number so I'd be "WSAA635/1" and he could be "WSAA635/2", etc.

For the members of my family we use unit numbers we are on the air together. Unit 1 unit 2...
