Amper:

I found this site on GMRS activity: http://www.provide.net/~prsg/wi-gmrs.htm

If you only use FRS frequencies and limit power to 300 milliwatts you do not need a license. The trick here, though, is that FRS and GMRS channels overlap and your radio may default to a higher wattage on those channels.

As for the FCC process, I'm fairly sure that they will let you know if there is an error on your application. Otherwise you should get the ticket in a few weeks. I know tat their web sites are confusing but that are a lot better than they used to be.
