which should be used for station
identification when operating the radio
on GMRS frequencies. You should also
cooperate by engaging in permissible
transmissions only, avoiding channel
interference with other GMRS users,
and being prudent with the length of
your transmission time. To obtain a
license or ask questions about the
license application, contact the FCC at
