The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a land-mobile radio service available for short-distance two-way communications to facilitate the activities of an adult individual and his or her immediate family members, including a spouse, children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and in-laws (47 CFR 95.179). Normally, as a GMRS system licensee, you and your family members would communicate among yourselves over the general area of your residence or during recreational group outings, such as camping or hiking.

The FCC Grants 5-Year Renewable Licenses For GMRS Systems.  The individual licensee is responsible for the proper operations of the licensed GMRS system at all times.

A GMRS Operator License Is Available In The U.S. For Free.  Canada Requires No License.  GMRS 2-Way Wireless Radios Generally Transmit At 1 To 5 Watts, And May Have Detachable Antennas.

What Is CTCSS?

Simple, CTCSS Stands For 'Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System'; A Electronic Circuit Designed To Filter Out Desired Transmissions And Block Undesired On A Shared Wireless 2-Way Radio Channel.

CTCSS Filters Out Non-Desired Channel Transmissions (General Channel Users) From The Reception,; Only Receiving A Transmissions From A User With The Same Set CTCSS Code.  This Is Very Useful In Areas Where Channels Are Over Used.  Situations Like A Fly-In, Fair, Races, Special Events Are Places For Using The CTCSS Filtering.

Note, When The CTCSS Filter Option Is Used, The Transmission Is Still Hear By Anyone On That Channel.  However, The People Using The Same CTCSS Setting, Will Enjoy Only Hearing Each Other, While The CTCSS Filters Out The Rest Of The Undesired transmissions On That Channel.
