    In the next couple of months the Feds will be dropping the fee to $35...

    Even if the license is $70, it's good for the whole household, not just an individual user...

    Don't hold your breath. It's sounds like they are still waiting on approval from congress.

    My understanding of the situation, it's a done deal. The FCC has to update their licensing system with the new fees..

    I have no idea. But looking at the link you posted, someone by the name of Duane said the same thing on April 22nd. Here it is almost 2 months later and it still $70. Unfortunately when it comes to the government losing money, they don't get in a hurry doing anything.

    I can see paying $35, but the $70 seemed pretty steep to me. Yes I admit it, I'm a cheapskate.

    Even at $70 it was still not a bad deal because it's a 10-Year license, that comes to $7 a year...

    Yes I know....but whoever set the $70 license fee was being greedy. I got a feeling most people will just use the radio without the license, if they even buy the high priced radios to start with. So now they supposedly are dangling the carrot by dropping the price in half. I think they shot themselves in the foot, figuratively speaking.

    The FCC can't even control illegal 11-meter linears and exports. I bet the gmrs license will go the way of the dodo. And that's ok with me. I cringe a little at the thought of the cost of the radio and new antenna, but then you need the license and SWR meter
