Many of us use GMRS so we can get others such as family members on the air and maybe they'll get interested and get a ticket. Others may "know enough" but simply have no desire to become hams. Many users are Fire and emergency notification nets. I can communicate with my non ham family using my same gear that I use on Ham. Craig
PS, my friend who is a non ham, but a GMRS user has a PHD in Physics and a is a digital electronics design engineer! Probably knows enough.
