The FCC approved new license fees for Amateur Radio and the GMRS.According to the FCC Report and Order released December 29, 2020, The new Amateur Radio license fee is $35. This fee will apply to new licenses, renewal licenses, and vanity call signs. Previously, no fees were collected for ham licenses or vanity call signs issued to amateur radio operators, so technically it is a significant change. However, it is less than the $50 fees originally proposed by the FCC. A GMRS license will now cost $35, down from $70. The license is still valid for 10 years and covers an entire family.
