LOL here I was convinced this thread was an April Fools' joke...
Realistically GMRS has the capability to be far superior to CB in basically every way; longer range, more power, clearer audio, shorter antennas, handhelds (handheld CB's are more or less a joke for actual communication outside of line of sight).
With all that said, it says on the box, in multiple locations, GMRS radio; additionally stating that it has 15 channels (CB has 40). How in the world did you confuse it for a CB?!
Lastly, yes, if you are using GMRS frequencies you need to get a license, there is no test, just pay the fee and get your callsign
