Yep - Puerto Rico CAP is their correct State Wing callsign. Like
Florida CAP where you are, or WHITE PEAK where I am.
I'm not in Florida.
I DON'T see ANY reference to any Part 15 or other unlicensed devices
being
employed or reported. Nor do I see any PLMRS, GMRS, or MURS systems.

In all fairness, the frequencies posted were in relation to a military
exercise and to an exercise of a radio net oprated by the civilian
government in support of said military exercise. This is far removed
from the type of "emergency comms" in which GMRS, MURS, FRS, and
Amateur stations would be involved.
That one wasn't on you, John. Certain other posters have "insisted" that
those radio services are "major" contributors to "emergency comms".
They have yet to establish any validity for those claims.
