GMRS/FRS two way radio confusion?
i have 7 GMRS/FRS radios and no gmrs liecence nor do i plan on getting one as i wish to only use the FRS channels
the manual on the maxus radios stated that only channels 1-7
are FRS only and the manual on the motorola talkabout radios
stated that channels 8-14 are FRS only
BUT at the FCC web site stated that 1-7 are “shared” between GMRS/FRS and 8-14 are strictly FRS only
basicly what im asking is can i use channels 8-14 on my maxus radios without the need of a GMRS liecence?
You may use channels 8-14 without a license. You may use channels 1-7 without a license ONLY if you use *low* power. Use of high power puts your power output over legal FRS power limits.
You could eliminate all confusion and just get a GMRS license. This will allow you full use of all channels.
Those who say it is all right to use all channels without a license are criminals. You are doing the right thing by asking your questions and operating within the limits of your operating authority.
