I have no idea how true this is, so I'll assume it's true.

However, as a ham radio operator, you've given the FCC one more stick
they can use on you -- they can take your ham license. That, and you
should be more familiar with the regulations than other people, so
they're less likely to `go easy' on you. So being a ham means you
need to be extra careful about obeying the FCC regulations, even if
they're not related to ham radio.

I'm surprised that the FCC charges so much for a GMRS license, but
they do, so that's that.
