Consider a membership in the PRA if the following issues concern you:

• Commercial GMRS piracy
• FCC GMRS enforcement
• Garmin Rino data broadcasts on FRS and GMRS and other F2D emissions like the Hasbro text messaging toy for children.
• GMRS licensing
• Excessive power on CB. Sales of illegal radios and illegal power amplifiers.
• Abuse of FRS and interference to GMRS by FRS. Illegal equipment on FRS. Modified radio equipment from other radio services, including Amateur, for use on frequencies where it is not FCC accepted.
• Interference to GMRS from foreign shipping in US port cities. This problem is currently being worked by the PRA with some limited success

PRA Membership

As of July 17, 2005 memberships were being taken by regular mail and FAX. In September we added the ability to send the application by mail. In the future, there will be an annual membership dues requirement. All dues will go toward the costs of running the Association. Only individual persons can be members of the PRA. There are no organizational memberships though we do expect to ask repeater associations to participate in the association in an advisory capacity while encouraging their members to join up!

To become a member of PRA you must first fill a membership form and mail it or fax it. A link to the form is located below.
