Please Take Note On Changes That Need To Be Made At The FCC The Amount Of Used Two-way Radio Equipment Available On The Market For Sale Today Is Becoming Slimmer And Slimmer. Soon There Will Be No Used Radios Available For Use On GMRS. The majority of the older GMRS repeaters in use today are running old 25KHz analog repeaters. As those repeaters fail, GMRS repeater owners and potential repeater owners will begin to have a harder time finding good wideband gear like what has been available. Even the mobile and portable radios that are being used to make portable repeaters will soon be gone. New radios that are being manufactured today for part 90 use are not part 95 compliant. And, the manufactures of Part 95 gear for GMRS are not interested in expanding its line of GMRS radios to meet the challenges we Licensed GMRS operators are facing. Too many combo FRS/GMRS radios are being produced instead of quality GMRS radios. Even finding good quality new repeaters at a reasonable price is a joke. In order for GMRS to stay viable for it's licensed users view and opinion on GMRS and the types of radios (can we say narrow-band, digital) are going to have to change at the FCC. Rules and regulation about part 95 compliance and/or certification needs to be updated to include those radios that are also included under Part 90. Please send a letter or email to FCC asking them to make the changes necessary to the rules, including the use of "Digital Modes" so that we GMRS licensed users will have radios available to us in the future. We GMRS Licensed Operators are entitled to the same advanced technology (Digital Modes) in radio communications equipment as is allowed and being used in/on other bands. Don't sit back and let other bands (like Amateur & Commercial) control what direction GMRS travels forward. |
