Default Newbie Question About GMRS Vs. FRS


Dave Platt wrote:

I read this all as meaning that the radio is capable of full
GMRS-level power output on all of the GMRS-authorized channels (the
shared GMRS/FRS channels 1-7 and the GMRS-only channels 15-22).

It's possible that the radio could be used legally on channels 1-7
without a GMRS license, if the power level were first manually set to
the "low" position, but I'm not certain of that.


Yes, you may use channels 1-7 without a license IF you only use low
power. Since that radio has type acceptance for FRS on channels 1-7,
it is permitted for license free use provided all provisions of the
part 95B regulations are followed.

The license free FRS frequencies are only authorized 500 mW ERP.
Exceeding that, you would be operating under Part 95A rules, requiring
a GMRS license.

I always recommend getting a GMRS license though. That way, you can
use all 22 channels.
