'''All frequencies listed on this page require a FCC license when used in the United States''', except the five MURS frequencies (151.8200, 151.8800, 151.9400, 154.5700, 154.6000).
+
These are typically used nationwide across the United States. For specific users, see ==See also==

== Color Dot/Star Itinerant Frequencies ==
Many decades ago radio manufacturers adopted a color coding shceme so that radio users could easily identify which frequencies their equipment operated on.
 
  
Sometimes referred to as "bubble pack business band" frequencies, these are typically used by low power hand held business radios. Users might include construction site operations, schools, events, fast food drive-thru intercoms, and other miscellaneous business uses.
+
[http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service_home&id=industrial_business FCC Industrial/Business Page]
  
Some of the frequencies are restricted to itinerant use and some have different power restrictions.

Three of the GMRS frequencies below are listed as "color dots". This is because in the past, businesses and other organizations could obtain GMRS licenses and some radios were sold with color coded GMRS channels for business use. Under current FCC regulations business use of GMRS frequencies is generally not allowed.
+
These are typically used by low power business radios. Users might include construction site operations, schools, events, fast food drive ins, and other miscellaneous business uses:
  
There are other frequencies in the 450-470 MHz band that are restricted to low power operations in certain areas. See the links below the table and at the bottom of this page for detailed information.

== Motorola Preset Frequencies ==
+
These are in use by low power hand-held transmitters typically used by families, children, and campers to communicate. Shopping malls, theme parks, and special events are all great locations to monitor FRS communications. No [[FCC]] license is needed.
Some Motorola hand held business radios have factory preset channels. A few models are listed below. Complete frequency and tone information for some models can be found in the users manuals available on Motorola's web site.
 
  
Some of the manuals appear to contain duplicate channels and other typographical errors. If you can correct the errors please do so.

== Radio Rental Companies ==
+
An [[FCC]] license is required, and persons operating under a personal license may operate on any GMRS frequency. There is no requirement for frequency coordination or any other special permission, and all licensees must cooperate in the selection and sharing the available channels.
Many radio rental companies have permanent licenses that allow temporary fixed, portable and mobile operations anywhere in the USA or in large multi-state areas of the USA.
 
  
Radio rental companies sometimes obtain an STA ([http://transition.fcc.gov/pshs/services/sta.html Special Temporary Authority]) (temporary license) for their customers' short term events. These can include simplex channels, temporary repeaters or temporary trunked systems.
+
Several of the channels are shared with the FRS channels, although FRS users are only allowed 0.5 watt transmitting power.
  
For many events, frequencies that are not in use in the particular area where the event will occur are obtained from a [http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=licensing_3&id=industrial_business frequency coordinator] well in advance. Almost any Business/Industrial Pool frequency can be used.

MURS is intended for short-range local communications. Antenna height is limited to 20 feet above structure or 60 feet above ground, whichever is the greater.  Very narrow [[bandwidth]] transmissions (maximum 11.25 [[kHz]] channel bandwidth, with +/- 2.5 [[kHz]] deviation) are permissible on all five MURS channels. The older +/- 5 [[kHz]] deviation signals (with a maximum 20 [[kHz]] channel [[bandwidth]]) are also permitted (but not required) on the two upper channels (in the 154 [[MHz]] band).

General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) Frequencies:

FCC GMRS Page

47CFR95.621 GMRS transmitter channel frequencies

The General Mobile Radio Service (formerly known as Class A of the Citizens Radio Service) is a personal radio service available for the conduct of an individual's personal and family communications.

An FCC license is required, and persons operating under a personal license may operate on any GMRS frequency. There is no requirement for frequency coordination or any other special permission, and all licensees must cooperate in the selection and sharing the available channels.

Several of the channels are shared with the FRS channels, although FRS users are only allowed 0.5 watt transmitting power.
