I have run BBSes since 1983. Now, I would like to do it on my GMRS equipment.
Traditional packet radio is not legal on GMRS in the United States. Under FCC regulations (47 CFR 95.1731 and 47 CFR 95.1787), GMRS is primarily a voice service, and digital data transmissions are strictly restricted.
On GMRS, digital data transmissions are limited exclusively to location information (GPS coordinates), requests for location information, and brief text messages addressed to a specific GMRS or FRS unit.
Broad digital networking, general text/data messaging, bulletin board traffic, APRS-style un-addressed beaconing, or arbitrary digital modes (such as AX.25 packet radio protocols) violate GMRS rules.
If you want to use packet radio, you need to be a ham.
