That is actually not correct. GMRS licensees routinely use 5w on many

No, GMRS uses 5W on GMRS frequencies that happen to be
SHARED with FRS. The radios that cover both the GMRS unique
and FRS unique frequencies will ONLY use FRS power levels on
the FRS unique frequencies.

Well, if you want to put a fine point on it, FRS actually shares the
GMRS frequencies, not the other way around. GMRS is the primary user.
FRS must not cause, and must accept, any interference with GMRS.
Obviously, if a transmitter uses a frequency that is not a allocated for
GMRS, then it must use power settings that are appropriate for that
particular service.

All the best, and 73,
