Wrong. GMRS is "Class A CB" (FCC designation) while the 27 MHz band is "Class D CB". I don't recall what classes B and C were offhand. FRS didn't exist until recently and has never carried an official CB label even though it too is under Part 95. MURS is even more recent.
Both Class A and Class D CB used to require a license. The Class D license was dropped around 1980 or so. The Class A frequencies still require a license. MURS is also not a CB band - it is a business band. Although families can use those frequencies, so can literally anyone else - for any reason (yes, hams too, although only with FCC TA'ed equipment). It's truly one way hams can legally communicate with other services - such as your local Public Safety or EMA personnel. Joe M. Bracy Poppell wrote: > Correction. UHF CB is FRS (Family Radio Server).
