On April 19th 2022, the FCC officially lowered the GMRS license application fee from an exorbitant $70 to the current and much more reasonable $35. This was certainly a cause for celebration, and on that day, thousands of radio enthusiasts rushed to the FCC website to become newly licensed GMRS operators.
As one of the leading two way radio dealers in the United States, Buy Two Way Radios was the first to introduce and celebrate the new, lower GMRS license fee by declaring April 19 National GMRS Radio Day! We established this as an annual event to celebrate the new accessibility of the GMRS to the American public.
To celebrate GMRS Radio Day, Buy Two Way Radios is bringing back its original 35 hour sale on select GMRS radios and radio accessories with Promo Code: GMRS35!
Why 35 hours? It represents the $35 cost of the license fee, which was catalyst that caused the sudden surge in GMRS license applications. This surge in popularity literally happened overnight. It is estimated that during the first 35 hours after the introduction of the new fee in April 2022, the number of GMRS licenses granted by the FCC more than quadrupled over the same two day period in the previous year. For the entire week of April 19, 2021 there were 900 license grants. There were 3,875 in that same period in 2022. That's quite a surge.
The GMRS Day Sale begins at 1 PM EDT Wednesday, April 19, 2023 and ends at midnight EDT Friday April 21, 2023.
