I found this reading reviews.So if this is true then why on the back of Motorola GRMS/FRS radio’s have “FCC License Required For Use On GRMS Channels”?
Or reads something like that.Somebody don’t know what they’re talking about,who is it?

{FCC license not required for any handheld radio user!

The review that claims the user needs a FCC license to use a Motorola radio is plain wrong. Yes, you do need a license to broadcast on the spectrum the Motorola radios use - just like you need a license to broadcast on the spectrum cell phones use. And just like your cell phone company bought a license for the spectrum your phone uses to allow you to use your phone, Motorola has a license for the spectrum the Motorola radios use too. So YOU do NOT need an FCC license for a Motorola radio - Motorola already got one for you.}

I misread this. Your quotes seem like you are saying it. Try the “quote” button next time.

With regard to GMRS radios this is 100% WRONG.

Trust me… A license is required for all GMRS frequencies.
