Current FRS/GMRS Channels (effective September 28, 2017)
- Note that the old GMRS channels (the 462 MHz splinter channels and the 462/467 repeater channels) were not required to narrowband.
- FRS channel numbers commonly used by 22 channel radios are shown in the leftmost column.
- Most 22 channel radios of this type which were formerly marketed as GMRS/FRS combination radios (radios that are not capable of repeater operation, do not include the repeater input frequencies, have a maximum power of 2 watts and have a non-detachable antenna) have been reclassified as FRS radios.

- Notes
Midland and Cobra Extra Channels
- Midland and Cobra make radios with up to 38 "Extra Channels" (for a total of 40, 50 or 60 channels depending on the model).
- These extra channels are simply existing FRS/GMRS frequencies with hard coded tones, and fixed low power on the 467 MHz channels.
