Permission for using gmrs call sign by those not in same household


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've read regarding to this and from what I'm told it's not legal for those not in the same household.  Not sure why people think it's OK it's not.  One family asked me if they could I told them that it wasn't allowed and it was stated by the fcc when I spoke to them. 

 

Not sure why people thinks they can but IMHO I don't believe that should be allowed

You seem to be pretty obsessed with regulations and what other people do. I’m gonna find an old “Junior Trooper” sticker badge and send it to you.

Be sure you wear it whenever you wear your Radio Shack helmet, the one with the flashing red light on top.

…..but only when you’re taking enforcement action!


Edit: below from your Sept post. You called the FCC?!

Man, life is too short to be wound this tightly.

I recently reread the FCC rules regarding certain communications 
allowed. One example is that I gave a warning of a motorcycle  
accident. one person tried to tell me that it was a violation
of the FCC rules. as it would be, I read to them what it says and that 
I was in right plus I called the FCC to have them verify that I was in the right. 
FCC said that I actually prevented someone from arriving to a hazardous 
situation and to have them rerouted for safety
 
So this ruling of what I did was legal

The regulations say nothing about being in the same household.  They simply say:

Any individual who holds an individual license may allow his or her immediate family members to operate his or her GMRS station or stations. Immediate family members are the licensee's spouse, children, grandchildren, stepchildren, parents, grandparents, stepparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and in-laws.

But they do require that the licensed individual retain control of his/her stations while being used by someone they have authorized.
