Chances are that the FCC isn't monitoring all frequencies. Do you know how much
man-power and government funding it would take. But, to help support FCC's
other programs like the No-Call-List and the V-Chip, im all in favor of paying
it, but im a little behind because im still using my Motorola FRS radios.

from geocaching.com's FAQ page regarding dedicated geocaching channels...
Yes. The community has decided on channel 2 as the primary for both FRS and
PMR, and 12 as the alternate FRS (Family Radio Service) channel and 8 for the
alternate PMR (Europe). FRS and PMR radios are longer distance walkie talkies,
like the Motorola Talkabout.
as I understand it, ch 2 is a gmrs channel & not an frs channel. Am I missing
something?
Sorry about all the questions, I just don't want to get busted for doing
something illegal.
Thanks!

What's the purpose of the license & does anyone here have one? Do you
just avoid those channels? it seems like you're pretty limited on channels
without the license.

What the heck is this all about? According to my owners manual I can
not operate on channels 1 through 7 or 15 through 22 without applying for &
recieving an FCC licence & call sign!
