Question. Are business band radio's not FCC type accepted in the GRMS band? I was pondering setting up a repeater on GRMS. I had assumed that the Business Band FCC type radios would be accepted on GRMS? Is that not true? Or just that the radio's were configured for Business band but were not stock for GRMS.
