If you are purchasing a two way radio that operates using GMRS frequencies, and plan to use it withing the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that you register for a GMRS license.


Why do I need an FCC license?

In the United States, the FCC regulates the frequencies that are used by devices like two way radios. The FCC requires that anyone operating a device on the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) obtain a license prior to use.


How do I apply for a GMRS FCC license?

A GMRS license requires that you complete FCC form 159 and form 605. These forms can be found on the FCC forms page.

You can also apply for a GMRS license online at the FCC Universal License System (ULS) web site.



Is there a charge for a GMRS license?

Yes. The FCC currently charges a $75.00 fee for GMRS licenses. Some applications are exempt from this fee.


Do I have to get a license before I can buy a two way radio?

No. We do not require a license before we will ship a two way radio. We are in no way affiliated with the FCC, or the GMRS licensing process.


Do you report to the FCC that I purchased a GMRS radio?

No. We are in no way affiliated with the FCC, or the GMRS licensing process. As is stated in our privacy policy, we will never provide your information to any third party (outside of the immediate billing processes) unless we are ever required to do so by law or to be in compliance with a court order.


Do I have to get a license if I live outside of the United States?

You only need a FCC GMRS license if you are using the GMRS frequencies within the United States.
