MikeVdP Posted March 4, 2021 Report Posted March 4, 2021 I see that the hold3er of a GMRS license can let others in his "association" use his GMRS license. We have local "associations" of neighbors organized for empergency preparedness. Does thiscount as an "association"? Can a GMRS licensee extend priviliges to all members of a 501( c) 3 amateur radio club? Any leads will be great! Quote
n4gix Posted March 4, 2021 Report Posted March 4, 2021 Short answer: NO Long answer: GMRS license will cover your family. Unless all of the "association" members are directly related to you, or related through marriage, it is not legal. Mikeam 1 Quote

The “association rule” in 95E applies only to grandfathered GMRS licenses issued in the name of the association. This can not be stretched or bent to apply to individual licenses that are now the norm. wayoverthere 1 Quote
MikeVdP Posted March 5, 2021 Author Report Posted March 5, 2021 Thank you to the responders. I see it now...95.1705 © (4) is for grandfathered licenses. Under that is (iii). That gives grandathered (only) licenses the opportunity to usethe license for "associations." So, yes, individuals and families (as defined) need licenses! Thanks! Quote
