It appears that a GMRS license may be required for the dual (FRS/GMRS)
radios even if you don't use the GMRS functions. You get a cool
callsign and everything. And all for only $75. I'm glad mine are older
FRS-only models.

I wonder if Canada and other countries have anything similar to GMRS
and if there is anything about reciprocal licensing.

By the way, if you have any other US-issued licenses or credentials
(pilot's license, USCG Merchant Marine license, etc.) you might not
want to take a chance and operate a GMRS without a license; if they
catch you they can take ALL your licenses away for one infraction of
any US rule.
