GMRS on a Road Trip?

...I think you need to reread the exceptions (a) again. It states: "transmitters certified for use in the land mobile radio services may be operated." Part 90 certified radios are allowed for use in GMRS under this exception to the rule. That does make the club's interpretation correct. The remaining gray area is which amateur non-certified personal radio service units are allowed as that portion of the exception does not list any specific units.

 

You are only reading half of section (a). Read the entire paragraph.

(a) Exceptions. Under certain exceptions, non-certified Personal Radio Service transmitters, or transmitters certified for use in the land mobile radio services may be operated. Any such exceptions applicable to stations in a Personal Radio Service are set forth in the subpart governing that specific service. See e.g., §§ 95.735 and 95.1735.

 

That means in order for there to be an exception, it must be spelled out for the particular service the exception applies to. §Section 95.735 applies to Radio Control services and lists the allowed exception. However, although §95.1735 is in PartE, GMRS, it its empty. Therefore, there is no no exception set forth and paragraph (a) does not apply to GMRS.
