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 h.. i.. CH08 467.5625 j.. CH09 467.5875 k.. CH10 467.6125 l.. CH11 467.6373 m.. CH12 467.6625 n.. CH13 467.8874 o.. CH14 467.7125 Do I need license is I use ONLY those channels? NO Ace - www.WH2T.com 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 |
