Are you supposed to pay for a license to operate GMRS radios? Yes, but are the radio police running around looking for big time criminal non licensed GMRS radio operators? Hardly.
$45 gets you a Baofeng handheld capable of hitting all the repeaters in So Cal with coverage from Oceanside to Oxnard - and that's just GMRS. Its also capable of hitting the 2m/70cm HAM repeaters so if you decide to take the test for a Tech license you 'd be able to use it as well.
If you want to get more info pm me.
