GMRS Radio Service

    The General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) is a land-mobile radio service available for short-distance two-way communications to facilitate the activities of an adult individual and his or her immediate family members, including a spouse, children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and in-laws. Normally, as a GMRS system licensee, you and your family members would communicate among yourselves over the general area of your residence or during recreational group outings, such as camping, hiking, or a trip to an amusement park.

    The FCC grants five-year renewable licenses for GMRS Systems. The individual licensee is responsible for the proper operations of the licensed GMRS system at all times.

    Before any person transmits with a GMRS radio on any channel authorized in the GMRS the responsible party must obtain a license. The FCC usually grants GMRS system licenses for a five-year term for a fee of $75.00. The following frequencies are used.

    There are a total of 23 freqs. This first group are repeater pairs. Note they are 5 Mhz apart. The handhelds and mobiles transmit on the 462 Mhz freqs and the repeaters re-transmit it on the 467 Mhz freqs. Cheaper radios will only transmit on the 462 Mhz freqs.
