It seems like all Government web sites are impossible to understand. If you want to get the best info on GMRS and FRS (written in plain English that is) then check out GMRS Web . They should be able to answer any question that you have on the bulletin board, though I would suggest reading the FAQ first. There is quite a bit of radio knowledge in some of those old guys. Although they do tend to get a little defensive over their personal ideas of whats legal and or ethical. Personally I think that 406 MHz beacons are a great idea. But they only see the potential for abuse. They deal with alot of "pirates" using GMRS illegally. Just check the archives and don't take everything that is said as absolute truth. Remember, these guys are getting all their info from the same messed up FCC website. They just spend all of their time reading that stuff and understand it better than most! But they truly are the best source for GMRS/FRS/MURS.
