GMRS and FRS are both citizens band allocations. GMRS is a licensed radio
service, authorizing higher power and flexibility. FRS is unlicensed, with
significant restrictions.

FRS frequencies are interleaved with GMRS frequencies. GMRS radios are also
authorized to transmit on FRS channels 1 to 7 with no more than 5 watts and
using 5 KHz deviation. GMRS uses 467 MHz frequencies as repeater input
channels. All FRS channels are simplex, with 3 Khz deviation and 500
milliwatts.


FRS Frequencies
a.. CH01 462.5625
b.. CH02 462.5875
c.. CH03 462.6125
d.. CH04 462.6375
e.. CH05 462.6625
f.. CH06 462.6875
g.. CH07 462.7125

NO

Hello,

I just got a pack of two Audiovox GMRS7001-2CH two-way
radios and had an unpleasant surprise after opening the
package - "USE OF THIS RADIO ... REQUIRES FCC LICENSE".

Some research showed that, yes, transmitting on a GMRS
frequency requires license. However, the radio have
7 "FRS-only" channels (freq. 467.5625-467.7125). Do I
need license is I use ONLY those channels?

I expect to need the radio once or twice per year when
camping, and I don't want to spend money and time on
FCC license, if not needed for the FRS channels.

Regards,

Gonzo
