We are big fans of GMRS radios and we get a ton of questions of what radio to get, why GMRS over CB or HAM, How to use GMRS radios properly, and how to get licensed. We decided to put together one video to answer as many of your GMRS questions as we could.

Big thank you for Retevis for sponsoring this video. They are having a Spring Sales during 3/18-3/24, it is a great time to get your new GMRS equipment.

Steps to Filing an Application for a new GMRS Station license in the Universal Licensing System (ULS):

1. Go to https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsEntry/licManager/login.jsp and log in with your FCC Registration Number (FRN) and password. After entering your password, proceed to Step 2 below to begin filing the application.

If you do not have an FRN, you can register for one here: https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/publicHome.do or by clicking the "Register with the FCC" link under the Submit button on the Log In page.
