I'm north of Line A and just made a big mistake!

The only factual reference for the GMRS rules is the government rules: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-95?toc=1

Yup, this.

I guess you're doing further research with sources you know to not be factual then. You're right, that makes way more sense...

"A I" is fake smarts.

And that source needs decoding!

It's fair that there's a lot of gray area in the FCC's rules (just look at the arguments on this forum...), but the Line A thing is pretty straight forward, in that it was a thing and now it's not.

§ 95.309 Coordination procedures and other restrictions for operation in certain locations.

The operator of a Personal Radio Service station may be required to coordinate operation in advance and/or may be subject to operating restrictions if the station is to be operated in certain locations, described in the following paragraphs in this section.

(b) Near a U.S. border or in an area that is or may be subject to an international treaty or agreement. Treaties and agreements may be viewed or downloaded from the FCC Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sand/agree/.

What's "straight forward" about this?

Straight forward and/or simple to understand along with the federal government in the same sentence makes as much sense as military and intelligence used in the same sentence.

This topic comes up regularly and the answers are always the same each time. I know my original official copy of my GMRS license issued in October 2023 had the line A restriction on it while a newer copy downloaded a few months ago does not have the line a restriction.

I have driven myself batty trying to read, understand, and explain NFA and GCA regulations to people. I will let other members here explain the FCC regulations. 

PS: NFA and GCA makes as much sense as FCC regs do.
