I knew it had been adopted, but it hadn't actually been implemented the last time I heard. I got my Ham license late last year, and the Ham license was still free.
Any idea when it will be implemented?
I was thinking about getting a license for GMRS. I have heard that the FCC was scheduled to do away with the license fee. Do any of you have any idea when the fee will be eliminated?

I went to the web site and saw the linked repeaters on a map. That is great. I suppose they are linked over the Internet. How much does it cost to use that network? I am not sure that I could hit one of those linked repeaters from my house. It looks like the one closest to me was...
I went to the web site MyGMRS.com . I noticed that many of the repeaters are not open to the general public and require fees and permission. I can understand that. I am just curious how do they enforce non-members from using the repeater? The only thing that comes to mind is a PL code that...
On my model it requires removing a surface mount "micro" component. It is referred to as a zero ohm resistor - aka a jumper. It is smaller than a grain of rice.
