I'm sorry but I'm not sure what your question is. Legality aside, as far as I know nothing is preventing me from using any of the channels. I bought my unit primarily for the GPS but also occasionally use the FRS to keep in touch with my hunting buddies. The GMRS capability is there in the unlikely event that I need more range. I'm thinking you would be reasonably safe from prosecution using GMRS without a license in an emergency--at least I would hope so. But if not it is still a fair trade.
