Are FRS and GMRS frequencies the same?
FRS and GMRS are public frequencies just like CB (citizen’s band). FRS and GMRS share the same frequency band (462-467 MHz).
Can GMRS talk to FRS?
FRS stands for Family Radio Service , and was approved by the FCC for unlicensed use in 1996. FRS channels 1 through 7 overlap with GMRS and can be used to communicate with GMRS radios. If you need to talk only to other FRS radios, use channels 8 through 14 to avoid possible interference with low band GMRS users.
Which has better range FRS or GMRS?
The difference is that GMRS radios have designated channels within those frequencies that aren’t available to FRS radios. FRS walkie talkies can’t be modified to amplify their signal to reach further distances. GMRS radios, however, can be modified to have a stronger, farther-ranging signal, at least up to 50 watts.
What frequency is FRS channels?
The FRS is authorized 22 channels in the 462 MHz and 467 MHz range, all of which are shared with GMRS. FRS is licensed by rule. This means an individual license is not required to operate an FRS radio provided you comply with the rules.
What frequencies can I use with GMRS?
The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed radio service that uses channels around 462 MHz and 467 MHz. The most common use of GMRS channels is for short-distance, two-way voice communications using hand-held radios, mobile radios and repeater systems.
What frequency does GMRS use?
462 MHz and 467 MHz
The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a licensed radio service that uses channels around 462 MHz and 467 MHz. The most common use of GMRS channels is for short-distance, two-way voice communications using hand-held radios, mobile radios and repeater systems.
What frequency is GMRS?

Can you use Baofeng on GMRS?
The Baofeng is capable of transmitting on FRS/GMRS & MURS.
How many channels are on a GMRS / FRS radio?
Most 22 channel radios of this type which were formerly marketed as GMRS/FRS combination radios (radios that are not capable of repeater operation, do not include the repeater input frequencies, have a maximum power of 2 watts and have a non-detachable antenna) have been reclassified as FRS radios. (1) Shared FRS and GMRS simplex.
What’s the difference between GMRS and CB radios?
The FCC allows GMRS radios to have more power than CB and FRS radios, up to 50W versus the 4 watts allotted to CBs. The GMRS spectrum is broken up into 22 channels, which are shared with FRS, with 8 additional repeater channels (15R-22R) that are exclusive to GMRS and may only be used by licensed GMRS operators.
How many channels does a micromobile GMRS have?
We are sometimes asked for the exact frequencies of these channels. Below is a table showing the channel number, type of channel, and the frequency. *Note: 20kHz Authorized Bandwidth. *Channels 8-14 limited to 0.5 watts. MicroMobile GMRS radio with 15 channels and extreme long range.
How many channels does a FRS simplex have?
FRS radios with 14 (or fewer) channels and up to 1/2 watt power output are still manufactured and sold. (1) FRS simplex. (2) GMRS simplex. (3) GMRS repeater output. (4) GMRS repeater input only. For suggested and unofficial channel usages see the Family Radio Service and General Mobile Radio Service wiki articles.
