Re: [chirp_users] GMRS Brodcasting
The Baeofeng radios are not legal for GMRS. One reason is they have remove able antennas.

I would like to use my Boafeng UV-5RA at work. We use the frequency. I can receive transmissions but I cannot transmit. I imported the GMRS frequencies from the Import from stock config menu item in CHIRP, and did not make Any changes to them. Any ideas on what setting I need to change?

Removable antennas are an frs thing. As long as they are part 95? type accepted and you are licensed, you are good.

This is one 'restriction' I remember from investigating FRS/GMRS.
As noted previously in USA you need a license, that is not necessarily true for other countries.
