I think not they are long and I have never heard anyone using them. Since the FCC really just wants you money in order to get one it doesn't have the same weight as the ham.

Exactly, 1 more character is just too many... Lol. I don't have my GMRS call sign yet. Eek...

Just a heads up when posting your ham call signs.... a quick Google search gives anyone your address listed with the FCC. so... privacy and security and all....

True, not worried though. For those that are, you can use a po box.

Good point the FCC info is public.

I just received my call sign KM6YSI. now I just need to decide what mobile radio i’m going to get for my rig.

Just wanted to say, thanks for this info :)

Industry Canada allows us to request civic address be removed from public domain. That said, APRS can often blow your cover. Lol!

If you haven’t gotten a radio yet I purchased the TYT 7800 and have had very good luck with it. A lot of radio for the money. Works great for 2M/70CM (2M/440) if that’s all your working under.

2 extra digit's....7 instead of 5. Would be nifty to have them stacked in your Sig. I'm not a programmer, so no idea how hard that would be to write code for it. After all, it's all about being legal

This is why I have a P.O Box.

Most APRS radios have ambiguity setting. Works just fine.
