Right now, I feel like a Democratic Mascot, rambling on about non-sense. It' obvious, GMRS licensees are solely responsible for their family communications under their call-sign. I never said anything different, because that's not accurate. Of course, rules and regulations on Amateur Radio are more strict, due the fact an Amateur Radio License cannot be shared with others. If as an Amateur Radio Operator may allow a Relative or a Friend to talk on the radio, you as the licensee must present during the entire duration.  

 

Getting to GMRS t supervise family members while they're using the radio and IDing the proper intervals, but the licensees are solely responsible for how and what is said over the air. 

 

I don't even understand why you are comparing it to amateur radio. The two sets of regulations have nothing to do with each other. Might as well compare the GMRS regulations to using a cell phone. Why bother?

(2) 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.

Seem pretty clear to me..... their definition of family

Not being in the "FAMILY," I don't think I can delegate any behavior to the individual licensee on how to conduct their responsibilities in this matter.

Just my two cents worth 🙂

Back up here, I wasn't comparing Amateur Radio to GMRS at least that wasn't my intension. Yes, I did run down a few facts about having Amateur Radio License, but I wasn't trying compare Amateur Radio to GMRS. You can't compare GMRS to Cell Phones. I guess I have to stop putting in my 2 cents for a spell, because I sure don't like being told that I'm wrong. I maybe hardheaded, but please don't correct like I'm a child.
