FRS: Family Radio Service, no license required, 1/2 watt max., no antenna
modifications.

GMRS: General Mobile Radio Service, license required, used to be used by
some small businesses, but was turned back over to "Citizens Radio Service".

ITIN: Itinerant, low power, usually mobile situations, used at random, (not
fixed), locations. Typically used for business.

The colors, and stars, were used to designate various frequencies, without
actually showing what they were.

GMRS: General Mobile Radio Service: a Licnesed Radio Service with more power
and options. Licenses cost about $50.00 from the FCC, the license covers all
family members. Formerly a Business Service, now only private licenses are
issued, not sure if they have grandfathered older Business users though.

For Frequencies see:
http://www.gmrsweb.com/gmrstable.html

General Info:
http://www.gmrsweb.com/gmrsinter.html

The colors are often used to identify frequencies pre-set on business radios.

Mostly standard but not 100% of the time.

Some of the color frequencies are now MURS : Multi-Use Radio Service. MURS is
also a license free service, limited to 5w with some limitations on what you
can do.

Hope this helps.
